I was very disappointed in this recipe. I made using the "Sponge Rinse Method," and it was so sticky that it was unworkable. I actually expected this based on other reviews, but even adding at least 1-1/2 cups additional flour when kneading it was still a huge issue. I can understand a dough being "tacky," but this is horrible! Anyway, once it was baked, the middle area of the crust turned out great, but the edges where it was thicker was very tough, not as in crunchy tough. Next time I make fresh pizza dough I will most definitely try a different recipe!!!!

I'm in love! First off, I usually stink at making pork chops. This is the first recipe I've found where the chops didn't turn out like dry shoe leather. In this recipe they are as moist as meat can be. The sauce is so flavorful. The basil makes this dish (I substituted about 2 tsp dry basil). The recipe was simple to make. You could probably throw in an extra chop or two since it makes ample sauce. I wouldn't suggest making any other substitutions, as this recipe is perfect as-is (except, I'm sure it would also be great with chicken).

FABULOUS! I was surprised at how the taste of the olive oil came through (I used extra virgin olive oil) which is why I loved this recipe so much. The seasonings are also just perfect. The bread crumbs and parmesan cheese add a nice finishing touch. I am not normally a fan of fresh green beans (I was raised on canned so prefer those), but this recipe may just become one of my favorite vegetable recipes!
