Pear and Ricotta Pizza
Pear is sweet where ricotta is rich, and a shared fresh streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Thinly sliced pear adds a delicate, perfumed sweetness and elegant, crisp texture. Creamy, mild ricotta adds soft, pillowy dollops of fresh dairy richness to pizza. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
