Spinach Lasagna image

Like there aren't enough spinach lasagna recipes already! This one comes from a Classico advertisement during the Superbowl season in 1993: Super Sunday Lasagna. This is a cheater recipe that uses sauce in a jar, but it is very tasty and easy to do. Use your favorite sauce; I'm fond of the Classico sauces because they aren't very sweet, but my favorite is Newman's Own Vodka Sauce. Feel free to experiment; adding more spices or some ground sausage or ground beef only improves the recipe. Usually one and a half jars of sauce is enough, but if you're using No Boil lasagna noodles, using both jars covers the noodles so they cook better.
