  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • 1 12 cups uncooked small shell pasta (orzo "or" acini de pepe)
  • 34 cup water
  • 2 cans plain spaghetti sauce (not chunky)
  • 1 (500 g) container sour cream (use plain yogurt for low-fat equivalent)

Method

  • Cut out core of cabbage and simmer in water to soften leaves to separate.
  • (A splash of vinegar prevents that cabbage smell from taking over your house) Mix all filling ingredients together.
  • Run softened cabbage leaves under cold water and drain for easy handling.
  • Put desired amount of filling onto a cabbage leaf and roll up.
  • Place in a large roasting pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
