There's no real recipe. I think I use about 1/3 bag of spinach, 2 pears, a cup of walnuts and a sprinkle of blue cheese. I use bosc pears too, they're brownish and I think they have better flavor and texture. I usually use raspberry vinaigrette too. I am not a big vinegar fan, but I do like a light vinaigrette. That is part of my problem, I hate everything dill and pickled, so most all of that is off the list. And I don't really like the flavor of olive oil, so I always use a light one and have to make the flavor up with seasonings or wine. I am one of those people who HATES cucumber, even though everybody says cucumber has no flavor. Uh, yes it does. So I have a little harder time with finding foods. And buying groceries, yes, very different. I do have more vinegars, wines, vinaigrettes, herbs, than I used to. I have frozen peaches to make sauces. Lots more bottles of Chinese whoknowswhat. Oh, I also buy liquid stock and apple juice, then freeze it into separate plastic bottles because a big box is way too much. I actually could use another freezer at this point. But the good thing is when you look at it as explorations in cooking and cultures, it becomes fun.

This recipe is actually way better than spaghetti, we add some turkey sausage to it when we serve it. I'd have never tried this in a zillion years if we weren't sick.
