I got this recipe many years ago when living in San Francisco. It's so good I made sure to bring it with me when we moved to the Midwest. The sweet basil s sauce pairs well with the rich cheese filling.—Melba Perlenfein, Barstow, Illinois

1 medium onion, chopped
6 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, divided
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons salt, divided
