About Plento Pasto: Meal Planner
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 • Pick the servings for each dinner, from 1 to 12, and the amounts and shopping list follow. Cooking for one? Plan every week at just 1 serving. • 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 • Cook Mode: one step at a time, with each amount right where you need it and the full ingredient list one tap away • 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 • Share your week: send a picture of this week's dinners, with a link where family can see the recipes • Add your own recipe: paste a link, a Pinterest pin or a screenshot of any recipe you found (or a whole list of links at once), and it's saved to your recipes, private to your family, priced and ready for your week • 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 • Share a TikTok or Instagram post straight to the app and we read the recipe for you, even from a TikTok video • Mix in my recipes: let the weekly plan pick from the recipes you added • 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 Cancel anytime. Less time hunting deals, more time at the table. Plus is an optional $5/month auto-renewing subscription. Cancel anytime. Instacart is a registered trademark of Maplebear Inc. d/b/a Instacart.

What’s new
Version 1.6.0 · Updated October 21, 2026
Pick the servings for each dinner. Cooking for fewer tonight, or want leftovers for lunch? Open an upcoming dinner and choose anywhere from 1 to 12 servings. The amounts and this week's shopping list update to match. Cooking for one? A new "Servings per dinner" setting can plan every new week at just 1 serving, or keep 2 so there's a leftover. Share your week as a picture. "Share this week's dinners" now sends a picture card of the week, with a link where friends and family can see the recipes. Cook Mode starts with the prep. If a recipe needs chopping that no step mentions, a "Before you start" card covers it first. Steps now show each amount when an ingredient first comes up, and the full ingredient list is one tap away. Plus members get a quicker shopping checklist: items check off the moment you tap, and show which dinner they're for. Also inside: cup amounts read the way you'd say them (2 cups, not 2 cup).
