Country superstar Blake Shelton may dominate the stage, but at home, it’s his wife, Gwen Stefani, who calls the shots in the kitchen — especially when it comes to Italian comfort food.

In a candid conversation on the Country Heat Weekly podcast with hosts Amber Anderson and Kelly Hutton, aired May 15, 2025, Shelton, 48, wasted no time in giving credit where it’s due. “Gwen mostly cooks,” he said with a smile, before revealing the dish that’s stolen his heart (and appetite): lasagna.

“I Could Eat That for the Rest of My Life”

Shelton couldn’t hide his enthusiasm when describing Stefani’s homemade lasagna. “Man, she’s really good at anything Italian. But my favorite is probably lasagna,” he said, noting that the process is no quick fix. “It’s one of those things it takes her all day, like, it’s an all-day thing, you know?”

That level of care, he hinted, makes it more than just dinner — it’s an event in their home. “I could eat that for the rest of my life,” Shelton added, cementing its spot at the top of his culinary wish list.

Italian Roots, Family Traditions

While lasagna reigns supreme in the everyday kitchen lineup, Shelton also acknowledged Stefani’s broader Italian cooking chops, which extend to homemade pizza and an elaborate holiday timpano — a dome-shaped pasta dish filled with eggs, sauce, cheese, and more. The timpano has become a Christmas tradition for the couple, but lasagna, Shelton stressed, is the regular favorite.

More Than a Meal

For Shelton, Stefani’s lasagna isn’t just about flavor — it’s a reminder of the love and care that goes into a home-cooked meal. In a life filled with tour dates, television tapings, and public appearances, the long, slow process of making lasagna is a comforting constant.

And while fans may know Shelton as the down-to-earth coach from The Voice or the man behind hits like God’s Country, this peek into his home life shows another side — one where the perfect plate of lasagna, made by the woman he loves, can rival even the biggest moments on stage.
