Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a large high sided skillet on high heat, heat the oil and then add the sausages until browned (3-5 minutes). Transfer sausages to a plate. Set aside.
Step 2
Reduce heat to medium low and add the next three ingredients (onion-pepper flakes) and cook for 5-10 minutes or until onions soften.
Step 3
Stir in the oregano and tomatoes, breaking up the tomatoes. Stir in the basil and return the sausages to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Break the lasagna noodles in half, cross-wise. Push half of the noodles under the sauce in the pan. Put the other half of the noodles on top of the sauce, pushing them down a bit so the sauce will cover the noodles and they will cook. Cover pan and raise heat to a simmer and cook until noodles are tender (10-15 minutes).
Step 5
Put the cream cheese in spoonfuls over the sauce and swirl into the sauce and then top with the mozzarella cheese. Continue to simmer, covered until the cheese melts (3-5 minutes). Turn off heat and top with basil leaves, if desired.
Step 6
Let lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving.
