I'm not a fan of pears in pasta, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The pears added a nice sweetness and crunch to the dish. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was curdled and the pasta was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This pasta dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would have liked it better with a lighter sauce.
