About this app

Plento Pasto plans a week of home-cooked dinners around what's already in your kitchen and the budget you set, then hands you a shopping list of just what you still need. Take it to the store, or send it to the Instacart® app in one tap.

No more 5pm "what's for dinner?" scramble. Tell us who's at your table, their allergies, and what to skip, and Plento Pasto builds a full week of family-friendly dinners you'll actually cook, with pictures so you can see them before you make them.

Free, every week:
• Unlimited weekly dinner plans, no card, no cap
• Start your week any day: pick your plan's first day on a calendar, even mid-week
• 10,000+ family-friendly recipes, nearly every one with a picture
• Allergy- and diet-aware: set your family's needs (nuts, dairy, gluten, vegetarian, vegan, halal, kosher and more), and plans steer clear of them, with allergens flagged on every recipe
• Foods to skip: name anything nobody in your house eats, like olives or chicken thighs, and it stays out of your plans for good
• Slow cooker nights: tell us which evenings are hectic and dinner is waiting when you get home
• Full nutrition on every recipe, with calories and protein on your plan, plus carbs when you're watching them
• AI Kitchen Scan: snap your shelves and plan around what you already have
• A savings tracker that shows what you're keeping each month
• Built to waste less: fresh fish, meat and poultry get cooked early in the week, and anything left for later tells you to freeze it and when to thaw
• One shopping list, grouped by section, so you buy only what you still need
• Swap any dinner you're not feeling
• Plan History: every week you replace is saved, and one tap brings it back
• One-tap handoff: send your finished list to the Instacart® app, already filled in. No retyping.

Go Plus, $5/month adds:
• Ask for what you're craving: anchor a plan or a swap to a specific dish
• Pick-a-dish swaps: search our recipes and trade any night for something specific
• Swap in a family favorite: bring back a recipe everyone loved
• Add any recipe to your week: its ingredients drop straight onto your shopping list
• Subscribe your plan to your family calendar: Skylight, Google, Apple, or Outlook
• An interactive shopping checklist: tap items off as you shop
