Steps:
- Cut each pear in half, then place on a large baking tray. Use a teaspoon to scoop out the cores and make a dip in the centre of each pear. If your pears are firm, you may need to use a sharp knife to do this. Dollop about 1 heaped tsp ricotta into each dip, then sprinkle over the cinnamon and drizzle with a little honey.
- Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5, then roast the pears for 10 mins. Tip the biscuits into a food bag and use a rolling pin to lightly crush them. Remove the pears from the oven, then scatter the crumbs over each pear. Return to the oven for another 10 mins or until the pears are soft and the biscuit golden brown. Serve drizzled with honey.

ROASTED PEARS WITH AMARETTI COOKIES
That natural sweetness of roasted pears is enhanced by crumbled almond cookies and a dollop of mascarpone -- a rich Italian cream cheese. For a substitute, combine 1/2 cup room-temperature regular cream cheese with a tablespoon or two of whole milk.

BAKED PEARS AND AMARETTI, BY JOHN BERNARD MYER
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Core the pears, leaving the skins on.

- Place the cookies on a breadboard and crush finely, using a rolling pin or a thick glass.
- To serve, arrange the pears in a serving dish and sprinkle with crushed amaretti. Pass the cream separately.

I pull this recipe whenever I feel the need to impress. It is a wonderful dessert (and I don't "do" desserts as a rule). Beware of sharing the amaretto with the pears during cooking - result WILL vary - hic. Enjoy!
