You've got questions, we've got answers

  • Cucina Fantasma is a plant-based lasagna company bringing restaurant-quality indulgence to your home oven. Think of it as the lasagna you’d find in the best Italian restaurant in town, but baked at your house. It's made for a world, our world, in which you can’t sit down for a traditional slice and a glass of wine without spending $60, and consuming enough antibiotics, hormones, and trace amounts of pus to fuel a young frankenstein.

  • Yes. But this isn’t the lentil-mash layered between cabbage leaves that your college roommate threw together between kombucha burps. This is creamy, salty, decadent stuff, designed for maximum pleasure-per-bite by medium-frills, salt-of-the-earth chefs who aren’t afraid of flavor. If you’ve got an anti-plant friend, leave them rest assured that we slip a dash of the Godfather’s blood into every sheet (this is a joke).

  • Layers of pasta. A slow-simmered, deeply flavorful sauce. The distilled knowledge and craft of the eastern sea-board. Ricotta that melts into every bite, and a hearty, meaty protein that tastes so real, even the butcher might try to take credit. 

    Anyway, here’s the full ingredients list:

    Crushed tomatoes*, fresh pasta (wheat only), firm tofu*, blanched almond flour*, silken tofu*, vital wheat gluten*, tapioca starch*, yellow onion*, water, tomato paste*, olive oil*, coconut oil*, methylcellulose*, koji*, nutritional yeast*, cashews*, mushroom powder*, garlic*, soy sauce*, garlic powder*, onion powder*, lemon juice*, salt, basil (dried), oregano (dried), smoked paprika*, parsley (dried), lactic acid, black pepper.

    *organic ingredient

    CONTAINS:

    Wheat, Soy, Tree Nuts (Cashews, Almonds)

  • Although we can’t promise this lasagna will stop your relatives from commenting on your body at every family gathering, we are strong, low-cholesterol, god-fearing, and dare I say attractive folks who live off this stuff. Our lasagna has similar protein, fat, carb, and calorie content to regular lasagna, but without the inflammation, saturated fat, hormones, or cholesterol.

  • Approximately 35% of adults in the U.S. have systemic inflammation. The top dietary culprits of inflammation are processed meats, dairy, refined sugars, seed oils, and the obviously-bad-for-you ultra-processed foods.

    Systemic inflammation means your body thinks it's constantly under attack, so it keeps releasing inflammatory chemicals, which can contribute to diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders. Persistent, low-grade inflammation also contributes to wrinkles, sagging skin, and overall premature aging. For this reason we are thrilled to announce a partnership with La Nut skin serum, look out for our upcoming topical night-cheese (this is a joke).

  • No. We are thinking about this for down the road though, let us know if you're interested!

  • Our protein is made from pea protein, coconut oil, and a proprietary blend of salty savory goodness goo. It's like Impossible or Beyond meat, but homemade without any bad stuff (and generally different enough to avoid any legal infringement, cough cough).

  • Right now, we offer local pickup around NYC and delivery through DoorDash. If you’re outside the city and staring longingly at your screen, don’t worry—we’re working on it— but if you know a guy who’s the head of Whole Foods or something please do reach out.

  • Yes, and it freezes beautifully. If you’re the type of person who likes to have a gourmet emergency meal on hand, this is for you. Just pop it in the freezer, and take it out of the freezer to thaw about 10 hours before you want to bake it.

  • Fresh: 45 minutes at 400°F, uncovered. Check your box for more details.

  • If your idea of a perfect event includes large trays of bubbling, cheesy (but not cheese) lasagna, we’d love to help you make your dream event come to life. Shoot us an email at lindsey@cucinafantasma.co and we’ll work something out.

  • Head to our Order page, choose your lasagna size, pick your pickup time or Uber Eats delivery, and boom—your next great meal is in motion.

  • Due to the nature of our food (i.e., fresh and perishable), all sales are final. But if something’s wrong with your order, reach out to us—we’re not in the business of leaving people unhappy.

  • Not yet, but soon. For now, the best way to get your hands on our lasagna is via pickup or delivery through our website, or come to one of our pop ups.

  • Email us at lindsey@cucinafantasma.co and a real human (not Cino the ghost) will get back to you.
