I'm guessing I can't win this, so perhaps the solution will be to make half of the meat lasagna without spinach (my half) and half with spinach (his half).
this might or might not work depending how clued in he is on food - just tell him you put some in. I'm not sure adding spinach would be noticeable tastewise.
Or alternatively, suggest that if he wants to control what goes into the food, then he makes it himself... you don't put spinach in your lasagne recipe, but you'd be very happy to taste his take on the same dish
