This is an easily-prepared and innovative recipe. I used it with spaghetti, which wasn't ideal--next time I will probably use something that would better trap the sauce. I also probably cooked it too long--I wasn't sure how much liquid there should be, so I cooked some of it off, which made the pears and onions a little mushy.
