Lasagna with Fresh Mozzarella and Spinach


I made this delicious lasagna recipe from Barilla that I wanted to share. It is an easy to prepare lasagna that is delicious! This recipe is from the Barilla collection found  here at Allrecipes.com .  I had never used their Sauce before and I was very pleased with it.   I loved the fresh mozzarella cheese and spinach in this lasagna!  I think next time I make this I will double up the layers to make it stack up taller in the pan. This is a great no-fuss simple lasagna that tastes great too!
