Overall, I thought this was a good recipe. The pears were delicious and the mascarpone cheese was a nice touch. I would definitely make this again.

I had some trouble getting the pears to grill evenly. Some of them were a bit too soft and others were still a bit too firm. I think I'll try cooking them in a pan next time.

These pears were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I might try grilling them for a bit less time next time.

I love the simplicity of this recipe. It's just a few ingredients, but they come together to create a really special dish. I served these pears with grilled chicken and it was a perfect meal.
