A traditional home-style recipe that's easy and inexpensive. Baked Savoy cabbage rolls can be served as an appetizer if they're small, but they're usually served as a main course. We filled these rolls with ground meat, Parmesan, and scamorza for a delicious, gooey result. Give this recipe a try, or make a vegetable-based filling if you're following a vegetarian diet (you'll find some suggestions in the "Tips" section at the end of the recipe). Enjoy!

Wash the cabbage leaves, then blanch in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain, run under cold water and leave to dry on a clean cloth.
Pour a little oil into a frying pan and brown the minced garlic. Add the minced meat, cook for a few minutes and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the meat, egg, grated Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, pepper and chopped scamorza cheese.
Mix the ingredients first with a spoon, then with your hands, until smooth.
Take the cabbage leaves and the white part in the middle (this part is a little firmer than the green part we're going to use for the rolls).
Take half a cabbage leaf, place a spoonful of filling on one end and roll the leaf on itself to form a roll. Do the same with the other cabbage leaves.
Using a kitchen brush, spread olive oil on the bottom of your baking tray, then place your rolls on top.
Drizzle your rolls with olive oil and bake for 25-30 minutes at 350°F/180°C.
Once out of the oven, place your rolls on a plate and enjoy!
