Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 Cabbage leaves
2 tablespoons Salad oil
1 medium Onion, finely chopped
½ pounds Mushrooms, finely chopped
1 cup Quick-cooking white rice
¼ cup Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Pepper
16 ounces Spaghetti sauce
½ cup Shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Trim rib of each cabbage leaf very thin. In 11" by 7" baking dish, cook cabbage leaves and 2 tablespoons water, covered, on High 8 to 10 minutes until tender; drain. Set aside.

2. In 2-quart casserole, cook oil and onion, covered, on High 3 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook, covered, 3 to 4 minutes until tender.

Stir in uncooked rice, cheese, salt, and pepper.

3. On center of each cabbage leaf, place about ⅓ cup rice mixture.

Fold bottom of leaf over filling; fold sides toward center. Roll tightly, jelly-roll fashion.

4. In 11" by 7" baking dish, arrange cabbage rolls seam-side down.

Pour spaghetti sauce over cabbage rolls. Cook, covered, on High 8 to 12 minutes until tender, rotating dish halfway through cooking.

Sprinkle rolls with mozzarella cheese; let stand, covered, 3 minutes.

Makes 8 cabbage rolls.

Note: I find that this was relatively bland, so I tend to add lots more pepper and a bit more parmesan cheese to the mixture.
