Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
- Shred the cabbage by cutting the cabbage head in half and slicing it with a sharp knife into thin cabbage noodles.
- Heat a large frying pan or ovenproof skillet on medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and a splash of water. Toss it around with a tong and cook until the cabbage is soft. Remove from the pan and drain.
- Return the same pan to the stove and add the olive oil. When hot, add garlic and onion. Fry until it starts to get soft and translucent.
- Add the ground meat to the pan. Fry while breaking the meat up using a spatula. Season with salt, ground black pepper, basil, and oregano. Add the crushed tomatoes and the cooked cabbage when the meat starts to get brown. Give it a good mix and let it simmer for a couple of minutes while you prepare the cheese sauce.
- Mix the heavy whipping cream, cream cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth.
- Pour it on top of the meat and cabbage mixture. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese has a golden color.
- Let it cool a bit before serving. Garnish with fresh basil.
Tips
If you don't have an ovenproof skillet or frying pan, you can transfer the meat and cabbage mixture to a baking dish and top with the sauce and cheese before baking it in the oven.
If you want a more traditional lasagna, you can boil whole cabbage leaves and use them instead of pasta—layering the cabbage, meat mixture, and cream sauce.
Serve with a crisp green salad.
Love the idea of adding some heat! So glad you enjoyed it!
Filling.
Tastes bland.
Maybe add spicy Italian sausage.
And some Italian cheeses.
Yes, I will make it again.
