Smoky Four-Cheese Sausage Lasagna

• 2 pounds bulk Italian sausage
• 1 cup chopped sweet onion
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 pound baby portobello mushrooms, chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 5 tablespoons butter, cubed
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• Dash ground nutmeg
• 4 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup shredded Romano cheese, divided
• 1/4 cup shredded Asiago cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded fontina cheese
• 9 no-cook lasagna noodles
• 1 cup shredded smoked mozzarella cheese

1. Preheat oven to 375u0b0. In a large skillet, cook sausage, onion and garlic over medium heat until no longer pink, 12-16 minutes, breaking up sausage into crumbles. Remove with a slotted spoon. Discard drippings, reserving 1 tablespoon.
2. Add mushrooms, thyme, oregano, pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper to drippings; cook and stir until mushrooms are tender, 7-8 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in sausage.
3. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour, nutmeg and remaining salt and pepper until smooth; gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Stir in Romano, Asiago and fontina cheeses until melted.
4. Spread 1 cup cheese sauce into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Layer with 3 noodles, half of the sausage mixture, 1 cup cheese sauce and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers. Top with remaining noodles and cheese sauce.
5. Bake, covered, 45 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining Romano cheese. Bake, uncovered, until cheese is melted, 10-15 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
