Italian Sausage-Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Put olive oil on the bottom of a medium-sized baking dish. Remove casings from sausage.

2 . Stage

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook cabbage leaves until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain.

3 . Stage

While the cabbage is cooking, remove casings from sausage. Cook and stir sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into pieces as it cooks, until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

4 . Stage

At the same time, combine marinara sauce and tomato sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until warm, about 3 minutes; set aside.

5 . Stage

Mix cooked rice, sausage, and 1/2 cup sauce with basil and oregano. Spread filling onto cabbage leaves and roll up like small burritos. The amount of filling in each will vary depending on how big your cabbage leaves are. Place cabbage rolls close together in the prepared dish and spoon remaining sauce over top.

6 . Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 30 minutes. Garnish with more basil and oregano.
