Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to your butter mixture. If you find yourself without ricotta, cream cheese whipped with a little cream can serve as a delicious substitute. You can prepare the pears ahead of time and bake them just before serving.
