This is a really good white lasagna. You could sub in spinach, just make sure you wring it out well. I bet you could just use thawed frozen spinach…
I did this a few months ago and it was amazing. Dice and sauté a white onion, then add 2 boxes of frozen spinach and cook out the water.
this is OP. thank you everyone! this is the one I'm going to try first, because it looks the most simple, I can add just a small amount of spinach, and I'm not a big cook.
when I say my daughter won't eat any vegetables, I mean ANY. Not for years and years. Not one bite. I mean, even pizza sauce or fruit flavor candy or anything with ANYTHING green even oregano. This is really extreme. So, when she said she's open to lasagna with spinach I have to jump at it but only put a bit of spinach that she won't really taste. Some fo the others look good but I think where the main feature is the spinach won't really work. It can't look to green. But if she goes for this one, then I'll make it a few times and then move on to another. The only bit of concern I have with this one is that the cheese is fairly minimal. I think she's looking for a really gooey, cheesy experience. But trying it tonight! I'll let you know.
For next time; What about a white pizza with spinach and whatever else she likes, and plenty of cheese? The spinach gets cooked and less vegetal in the oven.
She loves white pizza. But even if it has oregano on top of it, she won't eat it. White only.

OP here with an update.
So first of all I screwed up the recipe TWICE. The first time, cooking the sauce, I cooked the butter and flour at too high a heat initially and it turned into a lumpy mess. I threw it away and started over, only to realize I had used 1 cup of flour instead of 1/2 cup. Then I used almost 4x the amount of cheese I was supposed to (don't ask me how that happened, I meant to use a bit more cheese).
It came out very greasy. But, miracle of all miracles - she ate TWO PIECES! I don't think my kid has had spinach in her body EVER.
Thank you for all of the suggestions, I'll use some of the other pointers next time.

Hey OP! My kids are very sensitive to food textures. I whizz spinach into the bechamel for lasagna so they get the taste of white sauce but with the goodness of spinach without the texture.
