Iniesta scored the opening goal inside the first minute and was also heavily involved in Barca's second midway through the second half, his low cross being turned into his own net by Recre defender Nasief Morris.
Lionel Messi also missed a late penalty for Barca but it made little difference to the outcome as Pep Guardiola's all-conquering side moved nine points clear of Real Madrid, who play Real Valladolid tomorrow.
Villarreal's bid for a fourth-placed finish was dealt a blow by Malaga, their fellow European hopefuls winning 2-0 at El Madrigal.
Duda opened the scoring in the first half and Eliseu Pereira made the points safe on the counter attack four minutes from time.
Villarreal will drop to fifth if Valencia beat Sporting Gijon on Sunday.
