Step 1
Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC).
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage, then carefully submerge the whole head into the boiling water. Blanch for about 3-5 minutes until the outer leaves start to soften. Remove the cabbage from teh pot and let it cool slightly.

Step 6
Spread a layer of tomato sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the cabbage rolls seam-side down in the dish, forming a single layer. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the top.

Drizzle the olive oil over the cabbage rolls, cover the dish with aluminum foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 45-40 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the meat is cooked through.
Step 8
