  • 1 cups spaghetti sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Remove 12 outer leaves from cabbage. Remove any tough center veins from the 12 leaves. Cook half of the cabbage leaves in boiling water for 3 minutes to soften. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining leaves.

Finely chop enough of the remaining caggabe to make 1/2 cup.Reserve remaining cabbage for another use.

In a large skillet, cook ground beef, onion, and the 1/2 cup chopped cabbage until meat is no longer pink and onion is tender. Drain well. Stir in raisins, bread crumbs, and 1/4 cup of the spaghetti sauce.

Spoon a scant 1/4 cup of the meat mixture onto each cabbage leaf, fold in sides. Roll up leaf, forming a bundle. Arrange rolls in a 2 quart rectangular baking dish.

For sauce, in a small bowl stir together the remaining spaghetti sauce and cinnamon. Spoon over cabbage rolls.

Bake, covered, in a 350° F. oven for 20-25 minutes or until heated throughout. Spoon sauce over rills during baking and before serving.
