Roasted Pears with Amaretti Cookies image

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.

These roasted pears are a great make-ahead dessert. You can roast them ahead of time and then just reheat them when you're ready to serve.
