Description
A cozy and cheesy lasagna made with tender cabbage layers instead of traditional noodles, combining rich meat sauce and plenty of cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of green cabbage
- 1 to 1.5 pounds ground beef or Italian sausage, or a mix
- 3 to 4 cups marinara sauce
- 2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup ricotta (or cottage cheese)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes, chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish.
- Cook your meat in a skillet until browned. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour in marinara and let it simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Mix ricotta with a little salt and pepper. If you want it extra good, stir in a spoonful of parmesan.
- Layer it up: sauce on the bottom, cabbage leaves, ricotta dollops, mozzarella, more sauce. Repeat until you run out, finishing with sauce and lots of cheese on top.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 to 15 minutes more until bubbly and lightly golden. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Great for leftovers and can freeze well. Make ahead by assembling up to a day in advance. Adjust seasoning to taste.
