1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles
1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
1 bulb fennel, thinly sliced
1 large yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup baby bella (crimini) mushrooms, sliced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
3 tablespoons dried basil
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

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.
