This the BEST lasagna I have EVER had. I followed some of the viewers recommendations and only used 1/2 T of salt, 1 T of sugar, left out the fennel seeds and used fresh basil. I did not cook the pasta and soaked them in hot water which worked perfectly. I did add 2 whole star anise and 1 vanilla bean pod. I know it sounds weird, but I watched a famous chef on tv add it to his homemade tomato sauce and I never make my sauce without it. It gives it a unique wonderful flavor that just dances in your mouth. I also put a few dashes of cayenne pepper for a small bite. I let it sit over night and baked it the next day. I now have requests to make it to all potlucks.

I absolutely loved this dish. I did add about 1 cup more water because I love sauce over my rice. This was very spicy which my boyfriend and I absolutley love. To make this even healthier I used bone in legs and removed the skin. The bone in keeps the meat moist and delicious. I also added a few extra garlic cloves. This is a keeper.

I love this pork chop recipe. I used boneless pork chops and I only cooked them for 25 min. Nice and perfectly juicy. I cut the soy sauce in half and actually, instead of soy sauce used Liquid Amino Acid which tastes like soy sauce but has a significantly lower amount of salt. I also used more lemon. We had this with brown rice and aspargus. Will keep this in the rotation.
