These days when you go out to a trattoria meal, dairy desserts reign: panna cotta, tiramisù, gelato alla crema. I’m not mad at it. But sometimes my GI system is. Enter pere cotte, the cure to your fiber-deprived ailments. Lest there be any doubt, this dessert is tailor-made for constipated diners, the pears are served with prunes alongside, which bake with the pears in a red wine syrup. My favorite place to eat this is Armando al Pantheon, where they really care about satisfying your daily fiber intake. It wouldn’t be my move, but you can serve with a side of whipped cream if you dare.
