@maru0 the “and a” separates the lasagna from the spinach salad. With out the “and a” it would mean you want a lasagna spinach salad all together instead of two separate dishes.
- English (US)
You could also say "I'll have the spinach salad." I don't think there is much of a difference.

Can I say I'll have a lasagna and a spinach salad or I'll have the lasagna and the spinach salad?
- English (US)
@maru0 yes, in this sentence I don't think it matters whether you use "a" or "the"
