A thought for all the people recommending a dinner with goat cheese. OP is having 8 guests for dinner and there are many people who can not tolerate the flavor of goat cheese. If OP makes a dinner with goat cheese to accommodate one guest, she might make the meal totally inedible to one or more of her other guests.

The best option is to make a meal that does not contain cheese. There are hundreds of thousands of recipes that do not contain cheese. Use one of those.

And this endless game hen suggestion: no, just use regular chicken, whole, cut in pieces, or just boneless breasts and boneless thighs. It's difficult to eat a game hen with dignity. They are expensive and OP has a lot of guests coming. They don't taste any different than regular chicken.

If OP wants to do something easy, a crock pot of beef bourguinon, dressed up with a can of the tiny pearl onions, or coq au vin, and served with rice, green salad, no croutons, balsamic dressing. Everything made in advance and very upscale. Thicken with corn starch instead of flour.

The same can be said of anything. The OP wanted to make lasagna. What about the guest who hates tomatoes?

It's one thing to make accommodations for dietary restrictions. It's another to make accommodations for preferences.

But yes, I agree that there are cheeseless options, if it's really that much of a concern.

Goat cheese is not just one kind. There is goat cheddar (which does not taste much different than cow cheddar,) goat gouda, etc. I think those of us were just making additional suggestions if the OP felt uncomfortable going completely dairy free.

Your meal suggestions do sound yummy!

Geez, I can't believe how a simple question generates such enthusiastic sniping and sarcasm.

Yeah, but the lamb shanks would cost more than the aforementioned cornish game hens!

Some of those recipes look great! I enjoy spaghetti squash, so those dishes are up my alley. The lamb shanks look delish too-but that is something I regularly keep in the house, so would be easy for me.

Well, it's not something you'd have every Tuesday night, but for a special meal ...
