How about using a noun derived from a verb (by adding -ghach, e.g.) as the object? It involves deciding which other suffix(es) to use so that it doesn't sound odd.

Okay, since others have broken the KLBC-barrier already, and our current BG may be at shore leave, I'll answer this:

We have some examples of <par> and <parHa'> being used with nouns or
pronouns but I can't find any canon source where they apply to verbs.

Do you use {'e'} or nothing in those cases?

I will not go into alternatives like {tIv} "enjoy", but simple answer
the question grammatically:

The verb {neH} is the only exception for omitting {'e'}. This means that it is correct to say

{jIvut 'e' vIparHa'} "I like that I cook."

Yes, indeed you may think that this literally means "I do like the fact that I am cooking at this moment", but there is no "special" construction to express the common feeling of "I like surfing in general". It's the English that's strange, not the Klingon.
