Top the final sausage layer with the remaining cream sauce, marinara and cheese, making sure the edges of the noodles are covered. Bake until bubbly, about 45 minutes.

• In a large bowl, toss the chopped mushrooms with the oil and salt. Spread out on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast near the top of the oven, stirring 3 or so times throughout, until the mushrooms are golden brown and have reduced in volume significantly, 30 to 45 minutes. Let cool.
• Decrease the oven temperature to 425°F (200°C).
