However, adjusting the dish to fit your traditional lasagna pan is simply a matter of fitting the (in the case of a 9 x 12 lasagna) untrimmed noodles to the longer rectangular shape of a 9 x 12 pan.

Any thoughts on how best to adjust the quantities to accommodate a traditional lasagna dish?

First, let me say that we just got done eating it, and it was DELICIOUS. However, I had to stray slightly from the recipe above. First of all, I added mushrooms and red pepper, just as a matter of preference. Second, I added about twice as much cottage cheese, to make it creamier. Most importantly, the recipe above leaves out a major step. It tells you to mix the goat, mozz and cottage cheeses and set aside, but never tells you where or when to use it! It's just set aside and forgotten. Also, I don't think 1/4 cup of the spinach mixture sufficiently spreads on the bottom of the pan for the first step of layering. Finally, you can't just mix the flour and milk. That would result in lumpy milky nothing. I used 3 tbsp butter with the 3 tbsp flour THEN added the milk to make the thickened mixture. I layered like this: 1/2 c. spinach mixture noodles spinach mixture to cover cheese mixture noodles spinach mixture to cover cheese mixture 1/2 veggie mixture noodles spinach mixture to cover cheese mixture 1/2 veggie mixture noodles remaining spinach mixture. By the time I got to the remaining spinach mixture, there wasn't enough left to cover so I added a little cottage cheese and milk, reheated it to thicken and put it on top.
