Vegan Take-and-Bake Lasagna Brand Debuts in NYC

Edited by The VEGPRENEUR Team

New Yorkers are about to meet their new favorite dinner guest: Cucina Fantasma, a vegan take-and-bake lasagna brand making its debut this summer.

Created by a former line cook at Michelin-starred kitchens, Cucina Fantasma delivers handcrafted, high-protein lasagna that’s as easy to heat up as it is impossible to forget.

Cucina Fantasma’s flagship product, The Classic-ish Lasagna, is layered with fresh pasta and house-made slow-simmered seitan bolognese, tofu ricotta, and koji-almond mozzarella. Each lasagna is crafted to be baked at home or frozen for later, giving New Yorkers a way to enjoy restaurant-level comfort food with zero fuss.

“Lasagna is supposed to feel indulgent, satisfying, and celebratory, ” said Lindsey Masterman, founder of Cucina Fantasma. “But I wanted to reimagine it for the New York lifestyle. These are lasagnas you can look forward to on a weeknight—or use as the centerpiece of your next dinner party, all just by turning on your oven. ”

Cucina Fantasma will be available beginning August 23st for delivery and pickup – direct order at www.cucinafantasma.co. Production will be limited during the soft launch, with DoorDash delivery available only on Mondays and Tuesdays.

A Brand with Spirit

The name Cucina Fantasma (“Ghost Kitchen” in Italian) nods to its roots: a delivery-first concept run out of Brooklyn’s shared culinary spaces. The brand blends classic Italian comfort food with a playful, modern aesthetic. Bold branding, unexpected collaborations, and guerrilla marketing—think street posters and pop-up tastings—will bring the lasagna out of the kitchen and into the city’s cultural conversation.
