Layer with 1/2 of spinach mixture, 1/3 of meat sauce and 1/3 of mozzarella. Repeat the next layer with 1/2 of spinach mixture, 1/3 of meat sauce and 1/3 of mozzarella. Top with remaining potatoes, meat sauce and mozzarella. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
