Time 1h13m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles
1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
1 bulb fennel, thinly sliced
1 large yellow onion, diced
½ 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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 30 minutes.

This lasagna was just okay. The fennel flavor was not very noticeable, and the béchamel sauce was a bit too thick. I would not make this again.

This lasagna was a bit too rich for my taste, but the flavor was delicious. I would recommend using a lighter béchamel sauce next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of fennel, but I'm so glad I did. The fennel flavor was subtle and delicate, and it really complemented the other flavors in the lasagna. I would definitely make this again.
