Pears come in all different varieties – from tart to sugar-sweet. The type of pear you use will depend on whatever twist you want to give your ricotta cake. It's a sort of cheesecake – just a spicy one. The pears and sautéed onions add a sweet note, but ultimately this is a hearty recipe that is suitable as an indulgent appetizer or a simple supper. Why not enjoy it with a glass of crisp white wine. And a chicory salad.
