I found this recipe on pinterest from The Londoner blog.

 It is my favorite pasta alternative I have found so far. If you like cabbage rolls, you will love this!

1 small head of green or white cabbage
1 chopped onion
1 tbsp of garlic or one chopped garlic clove
1 jar of marinara sauce (You can also use tomato sauce and tomato paste to make a lower calorie sauce if you like. Add salt and italian spices to that with no oil to bring calories down.)
1 lb of ground bison, beef, or turkey (I used ground bison meat because of preference)
1 tbsp oregano
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp parsley
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Begin sauteing the ground meat, no oil needed as you can cook it in it's own fat.
2. After sauteing for a few minutes add in 1 chopped onion and 1 chopped glove of garlic
3. Saute both meat and onions until meat is browned
4. Once meat is browned, pour in jar of marinara sauce or tomato sauce and tomato paste into pot. Stir.
5. Add oregano, red pepper flakes, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. You can add 1/4 cup or so of red wine if you're feeling frisky.
6. Let the sauce come to a slow boil, cover, and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
7. While sauce is cookiner, wash and slice the cabbage head into thin strips (should slightly resemble pasta)
8. Steam the cabbage for 5-7 minutes. You do not want it to be soggy, you want it to still be slightly crisp.
9. If you do not have a steamer pot, put cabbage in a hot pan with 1/2 cup of water and some salt. Cover and let steam for 5-7 minutes.
10. Drain cabbage
11. Pour meat sauce over drained cabbage and sprinkle with grated parmesan (optional)
