CABBAGE ROLLS:
Add all filling ingredients to a large bowl. Mash the ingredients together using a potato masher until well combined.
Place one cabbage leaf on a cutting board. Cut a V-shaped incision at the base of each leaf to remove the bottom 1-2 inches of the tough rib.
Add in about 3-4 tablespoons of the filling mixture into each leaf.
Fold the right side of the leaf over the filling and then fold the left side over.
Starting at the base, begin rolling the cabbage leaf up.
Repeat the above steps with the remaining filling and cabbage leafs.
Spray a large 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Pour in tomato sauce and spread it out along the bottom of the dish.
Place cabbage rolls, seam-side-down, in two rows of six rolls.
