8 ounces barilla spaghetti or linguine 1 (26 ounce) jar barilla roasted garlic and onion pasta sauce, divided use 1 (12 ounce) package frozen spinach souffle, thawed 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese, divided use 1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated parmesan cheese, divided use
Cook spaghetti according to package directions until partially done but still firm, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain.
Meanwhile, coat microwave-safe 13x9x2-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Pour 1 1/2 cups pasta sauce into baking dish; top with half of drained spaghetti, half of spinach souffle, 1 cup mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Repeat layers of spaghetti, pasta sauce and cheeses.
Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on HIGH, turning every 4 minutes, until strata is bubbly and cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes. Let stand 3 minutes before serving.
CHEF'S NOTE: When preparing pasta that will be used in a casserole, it's important to reduce the suggested cooking time on the package by about one third. The pasta will continue to cook and absorb liquid while the casserole is cooking.
