Ingredients
Scale
1 large head of cabbage
1 pound ground beef
2 cups ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup marinara sauce
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Remove the core from the cabbage and boil the leaves in salted water until tender, about 5 minutes.
In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
Layer cabbage leaves, followed by the ricotta mixture, ground beef, and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with mozzarella on top.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
