Easy Lasagna

My days have been so hectic this week I haven't found myself in the kitchen much. After five straight days of takeouts and eating out, I wanted to eat in last night and fix something easy. This lasagna recipe is made with Prego sauce (Again, Prego sauce has made my life a little easier...) and the rest is very easy to put together.
