Prepare the Cabbage: Boil a large pot of water. Add cabbage leaves, a few at a time, and cook until tender (about 3-5 minutes). Remove and drain.

Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine ground beef, cooked rice, onion, garlic, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Assemble the Rolls: Place a spoonful of filling on a cabbage leaf. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.

Prepare the Sauce: In a saucepan, combine tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, salt, pepper, and water. Bring to a simmer.

Bake the Rolls: Pour the sauce over the cabbage rolls. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 1 hour, or until tender. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
