Gwen & Blake's Secret Holiday Culinary Tradition Revealed

Gwen Stefani has revealed the origins of a beloved holiday tradition she shares with Blake Shelton: the creation of a timpano pasta dome. Stefani explained in a recent interview that this unique dish, essentially a pizza-pasta combination, was inspired by a scene in the 1996 movie 'Big Night.' What started as an experimental recipe has evolved into an eagerly anticipated annual event for their family.

Initially, the couple crafted the timpano with pasta shells, but they later adapted it to feature a pizza dough exterior, embracing a more decadent approach. Stefani admitted she thought the tradition might eventually fade, but family enthusiasm confirmed its status as a cherished ritual. The talk show host even surprised Stefani with a timpano dome during their interview.

Beyond their culinary traditions, Stefani also discussed her new holiday song, 'Shake the Snow Globe,' for the film 'Oh. What. Fun.' She shared her excitement about writing for movies and recounted meeting co-star Michelle Pfeiffer at the film's premiere, detailing her father's keen interest in her interactions with Pfeiffer.
