Creamy & Cheesy Ziti

3: In the same pan, sauté the diced onion and crushed garlic until softened.

4: Add the cubed butternut, ground green peppercorn, water, and veggie stock cube to the pan. Cover and simmer until the squash is cooked.

7: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese (or smoked Gouda), chopped sage, parsley, and rosemary.
