  4. Pour in chicken broth and whisk in cream cheese, simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Stir in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and seasonings; let simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add grated Parmesan to the sauce and stir until melted.
  7. Nestle cabbage wedges in the sauce, cover, and bake for 45 minutes.
  8. Uncover, baste the cabbage with sauce, and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes or until tender.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with parsley and more Parmesan before serving.
