Recipes like our Chicken Cutlets with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce and Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato & Spinach Soup with Ravioli are so good and comforting, you’ll want to make them again and again.

You’ll inevitably have large and smaller “steaks” cut from the head. Place the large cabbage steaks on the outside edges of the baking sheet, with the smaller ones toward the center.
