 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  8                    Cabbage leaves
  2       tb           Salad oil
  1       md           Onion, finely chopped
    1/2   lb           Mushrooms, finely chopped
  1       c            Quick-cooking white rice
    1/4   c            Parmesan cheese
    1/2   ts           Salt
    1/4   ts           Pepper
 16       oz           Spaghetti sauce
    1/2   c            Shredded mozzarella cheese

 1.  Trim rib of each cabbage leaf very thin.  In 11"
 by 7" baking dish, cook cabbage leaves and 2
 tablespoons water, covered, on High 8 to 10 minutes
 until tender; drain.  Set aside.

 2.  In 2-quart casserole, cook oil and onion, covered,
 on High 3 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook, covered, 3 to
 4 minutes until tender. Stir in uncooked rice, cheese,
 salt, and pepper.

 3.  On center of each cabbage leaf, place about 1/3
 cup rice mixture. Fold bottom of leaf over filling;
 fold sides toward center.  Roll tightly, jelly-roll
 fashion.

 4.  In 11" by 7" baking dish, arrange cabbage rolls
 seam-side down. Pour spaghetti sauce over cabbage
 rolls.  Cook, covered, on High 8 to 12 minutes until
 tender, rotating dish halfway through cooking.
 Sprinkle rolls with mozzarella cheese; let stand,
 covered, 3 minutes. Makes 8 cabbage rolls.

 Each roll: About 225 calories, 9 g fat, 8 mg
 cholesterol, 495 mg sodium.

 Note:  I find that this was relatively bland, so I
 tend to add lots more pepper and a bit more parmesan
 cheese to the mixture.
