Ingredients

1-1/2 cups chopped fresh mushrooms
1 cup diced zucchini
3/4 cup chopped green pepper

3/4 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup bulgur
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram

1 large head cabbage
6 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce

In a large saucepan, combine the first 10 ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook cabbage in boiling water just until leaves fall off head. Set aside eight large leaves for rolls (refrigerate remaining cabbage for another use).

Place a heaping 1/3 cupful on each cabbage leaf; fold in sides. Starting at an unfolded edge, roll to completely enclose filling.
Combine tomato sauce and hot pepper sauce; pour 1/3 cup into a 2-qt. baking dish. Place cabbage rolls in dish; spoon remaining sauce over top. Cover and bake at 400 ° for 15 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
