Salt
6 Tablespoons olive oil
2 medium red onions, peeled, cut into 1/2 inch dice
6 garlic cloves, peeled, thinly sliced
1 pound new potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/4 inch dice

About 1 cup finely slivered fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh italian parsley
2 cups tomato
1/2 cup fresh grated pecorino romano

Here is how you make Stuffed Cabbage. Ligurian-Style:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.Bring 8 quarts of water to a boil in a large pasta pot. Fill a large bowl with cool water and place it nearby.Remove the tough outer leaves of the cabbage, finely chop them and set them aside. Carefully cut out the cabbage core with a sharp knife.Add 2 Tablespoons salt to the boiling water. Drop the whole cabbage into the water and cook until it is tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Then trnsfer the cabbage to the bowl of cool water.When the cabbage is cool enough to handle, drain it. Carefully remove the whole leaves from the head; set aside about a dozen of the best and largest. Chop the remaining cabbage into 1/4 inch pieces and set them aside. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil over medium heat until just smoking. Add the onions, garlic, potatoes and the raw and cooked chopped cabbage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and allow to cool.When the potato mixture is cool, add the ricotta, basil and parsley, and fold together. Place a scant 1/2 cup of the cabbage-ricotta mixture in the center of each whole cabbage leaf. Fold each leaf around the filling like a burrito and secure with a toothpick. Pour the tomato sauce into a 9x13 baking dish. Arrange the cabbage packets on top. Cover the dish tightly with foil, and bake for 30 minutes.Remove the foil, sprinkle the cabbage packets with the grated pecorino and bake for another 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
