Cabbage rolls in tomato sauce

Clean the white cabbage, remove the outer leaves, and cut out the stalk. Blanch the cabbage leaves in salted water for 10 minutes, then drain well. Spread the cabbage leaves out on a work surface, layering 3-4 on top of each other. Place the mozzarella on the leaves and roll them up into cabbage rolls. Heat the oil in a pan, fry the bacon, add the onions and garlic, and sweat until translucent. Strain the tomatoes through a sieve and season with salt, pepper, and basil. Layer the cabbage rolls in an ovenproof dish, pour the sauce over them, and bake in an oven preheated to 200°C for 10-15 minutes.
