KITTENCAL'S CABBAGE ROLLS WITH TOMATO SAUCE
This is my own recipe that I have made for over 25 years, I have made these for weddings, socials and large get togethers and everyone loves them --- I have two large cabbage listed as you will need extra cabbage leaves to line the bottom and top of the pan to prevent the rolls from over browning which may happen during the long cooking time --- cooked rice will also be fine for this and if you like lots of rice you may increase amount --- make certain that the heads of cabbage are frozen then completely thawed before starting this recipe, this will allow for easy removal of the leaves, allow the frozen cabbage heads thaw at room temperature overnight in bowls --- to save some time I most always remove the cabbage leaves a day ahead and refrigerate in a bowl and you may even prepare the ground beef mixture a day ahead so the following day just mix the sauce roll and cook --- for these cabbage rolls I do not precook the ground beef it will cook thoroughly in the oven --- I have listed the sauerkraut as optional if you are a sauerkraut-lover then add it in I most always do it really adds extra flavor to the cabbage and you may use more than 1/2 cup if desired --- the amounts listed will fill a 13 x 9-inch pan very full or even better so you do not over crowd the rolls a larger pan may be used or use two pans and freeze one for another meal, just thaw overnight in the fridge then allow to sit at room temperature for about 2 hours then cook as stated --- if you like lots of sauce then you may double amounts but I would suggest to make it in a larger baking pan if you are doubling the sauce.

Steps:
- Set oven to 350 degrees F (second-lowest oven rack).
- Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan or use a larger pan (for easier clean up I strongly advise to use a disposable heavy foil pan).
- Make certain that the cabbage heads are completely thawed before using for this (to do this remove the heads of cabbage from freezer and place in a bowl then thaw at room temperature overnight).
- Using a small sharp knife carefully remove the hard core/stem from the center of the head, then remove the leaves from the cabbage (you may need to keep slicing off some middle part to remove the leaves easier).
- To speed up cooking time you may want to cook the leaves in boiling salted water for about 8-10 minutes this will give the cabbage rolls a head start and reduce cooking time slightly.
- Using your hands gently squeeze out 2 to 3 leaves at a time to remove excess water, then place the leaves in a large bowl; set aside.
- FOR MEAT FILLING; using clean hands mix all ingredients together for the meat filling in large bowl until thoroughly combined.
- FOR SAUCE; in another bowl combine all sauce ingredients together until blended (adjust the salt and pepper to taste).
- Line the bottom of the pan with cabbage leaves (due to the long cooking time this will protect the rolls from over browning/burning in the pan while cooking, you may also place leaves on top of the sauce then cover with foil but that is optional).
- Using a large spoon or a ladle drizzle half of the sauce over the leaves then spread out to cover the leaves (does not have to cover the leaves completely).
- Stuff the cabbage leaves tightly but carefully with the meat mixture (I use about 1/3-cup for larger leaves).
- Roll up tightly and place the rolls in a single layer on top of the cabbage leaves and sauce in the baking dish.
- Drizzle the remaining sauce over the rolls (using a butter knife separate the rolls slightly to insure the sauce settles between and around each roll).
- Sprinkle about 1/2 cup or a little more sauerkraut over the sauce (if using).
- At this point you may cover the rolls with more leaves if desired (this is optional but good to do).
- Cover tightly with foil.
- IMPORTANT; if you are using a 13 x 9-inch dish it will be very full so place on a large jelly-roll pan to catch any spills.
- Cook at 350 degrees F (oven rack set to second-lowest position) for about 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until the cabbage is very tender, the cooking time will vary depending on how thick the cabbage leaves are and if you have pre-boiled the leaves firstly, I usually check after about 2 hours).

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add a film of oil along with the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften and caramelize, 2 to 3 minutes. Move the onions to one side of the pan, and then add the butter, cabbage and a pinch of salt. Cook until everything is caramelized and softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock. Simmer this mixture until the cabbage is cooked through and the liquid has reduced, about 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, drop your pasta. Cook at a gentle boil for 2 minutes less than the package directions. Then drain and add to the cabbage mixture. Gently fold in the parsley and sour cream and serve immediately, adding black pepper and a drizzle of oil.

KITTENCAL'S EASY LASAGNA
This lasagna is easier than most as there is no pre-cooking the noodles, do not use the no-boil noodles for this just regular lasagna noodles, the no-boil with become too soft with the addition of the water --- this was tested using Classico Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce, any meatless Classico pasta sauce will do fine or you could use your own favorite brand --- I suggest to prepare the meat sauce up to 2 days ahead this will not only save you time but the flavors will ripen and intensify for a better tasting sauce --- cooking time does not include the meat sauce.

CABBAGE AND NOODLES
A great side dish or a meal on its own. This is a Polish/Hungarian dish. Can use bacon but I cut back on that to make it meatless. Also can garnish with poppy seeds. Adding peas for color and nutrition. Bacon is a yummy addition for those that eat meat. Just brown drain most of the fat then add butter and oil and brown onions. Be sure to give the onions a nice brown color using a med high heat.

Tips:
- Select the right cabbage: Choose a firm, heavy cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Avoid cabbages that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a large pot: The cabbage will release a lot of liquid as it cooks, so it's important to use a pot that's big enough to accommodate it.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're cooking a lot of cabbage, cook it in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. This will help the cabbage cook evenly.
- Season the cabbage well: Cabbage can be a bit bland on its own, so be sure to season it well with salt, pepper, and other spices.
- Cook the cabbage until it's tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of cabbage and how thinly it's shredded. But in general, cabbage should be cooked until it's tender but still has a bit of a crunch.
- Serve the cabbage hot: Cabbage is best served hot, so don't let it sit around for too long before serving.
Conclusion:
Cabbage and noodles is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover cabbage, and it's also a very affordable meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tasty and satisfying dish that the whole family will love.
