Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.

  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add fennel, onion, mushrooms, and garlic, cook and stir until onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.

  4. Place sausage into a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes, drain and discard grease. Add marinara sauce, basil, and red pepper flakes to skillet, stir to combine.

  5. Coat the bottom of a Dutch oven with marinara sauce mixture, add a layer of lasagna noodles. Spread a 1/4-inch layer of cream cheese over noodles, add a layer of onion-fennel mixture. Top with more sauce. Repeat layers until all sauce, cream cheese, and onion-fennel mixture are used up, about 3 layers. Top last layer with mozzarella cheese.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 30 minutes.
