Unless you're a native Italian cook who has learned from generations of lasagna makers before you, add some spinach next time.
And if you are that native Italian cook I mention above, add some spinach next time.
It's the little things that can make a husband happy. Then he'll do some nice things for you!
Actually, I told him he was wrong because one of my coworkers who is Italian said he's wrong.
He does nice things for me without me having to do things like include spinach in meat lasagna.

LOL, he insists it would give it a different taste (contrasting flavors or some such is what he said).
Suggesting that he cook lasagna with spinach if he wants it would only be opening myself up to food poisoning, or some sort of disaster in the kitchen.
I do think the solution here, since I'm not going to win when he grew up with spinach in meat lasagna, is to make half with spinach and half without.
