Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp butter
4 large ripe pears (about 1 3/4 lb), peeled, cored, and sliced
1/4 cup frangelico (hazelnut-flavored liqueur)
1 tbsp brown sugar
5 tsp chopped hazelnuts, toasted

Directions:

Combine first 4 ingredients in a small bowl; stir with a whisk until smooth.
Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pears, and sauté 10 minutes or until tender. Add Frangelico and brown sugar, and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Divide warm pear mixture evenly among 5 dessert plates; drizzle with mascarpone cream, and sprinkle with hazelnuts.
A Toast to Nuts: One of the best ways to bring out the flavor in nuts is to toast them. Heating helps release flavor compounds that make for a richer, more intensely nutty taste. To toast hazelnuts, place them in a shallow pan or on a baking sheet, and bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until the nuts are fragrant, stirring once. (Or quickly toast them in a skillet over medium-high heat.) Turn nuts out onto a towel. Roll up the towel, and rub the hazelnuts to remove the skins.
