I've made a pumpkin pie and a pumpkin bread (like carrot cake) with butternut before. You steam or bake it for the pie, then mash and it's basically mixed with sugar, cream, eggs and some spices (cinnamon I think) then baked in a pastry shell. It was used grated in the bread.
I use them just like any other root veg so steamed, baked, mashed, in soup, in stews or curries.
