"This sounds very interesting to me. Like a lowfat potato cake-bake. You can use applesauce instead of the pear sauce, as the pear sauce seems like quite a bit of work for a similar result. Serve this with spring mix lettuce and a light citrus dressing, and you have a wonderful vegetarian lowfat supper! Don't fret, the prep time includes the making of the pear sauce.

my family thought this was okay but they weren't wild about it. they thought it was bland and needed more spice. i didn't use low fat ingredients, i think some oil in the mix would have helped the consistancy. this is their rating
