Blake Shelton might be known for snacking on Cheetos during his tours, but when it comes to home-cooked meals, there\u2019s one dish made by his wife Gwen Stefani that he simply can\u2019t get enough of: her homemade lasagna.<\/p>\n
The country music star and\u00a0The Voice<\/em>\u00a0alum, married to the pop icon since 2021, has long praised Gwen\u2019s culinary skills\u2014especially her Italian cooking. Living on their Oklahoma ranch with Gwen\u2019s three sons\u2014Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo\u2014the couple often bond over family meals. \u201cEverything is a reason to get together and cook,\u201d Shelton shared with\u00a0The Good Dish<\/em>. \u201cIt\u2019s so much fun\u2026 I love to eat, they love to cook, and everything works out. I feel like I\u2019m a good sous chef for her.\u201d<\/p>\n During a May 2025 episode of the\u00a0Country Heat Weekly<\/em>\u00a0podcast, Shelton revealed that lasagna is his favorite dish Gwen makes, calling it an \u201call day thing\u201d that he would happily eat \u201cfor the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMan, she\u2019s really good at anything Italian,\u201d Shelton said. \u201cBut my favorite is probably lasagna. That\u2019s one of those things it takes her all day, like, it\u2019s an all day thing, you know? And I would eat that for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n Shelton also shared that Gwen is passionate about making homemade pizza from scratch\u2014preparing the dough, letting it rise, and baking it in a pizza oven. \u201cShe really does this stuff for real,\u201d he said with admiration, joking, \u201cWho does that?\u201d<\/p>\n The couple\u2019s love for Italian cuisine extends beyond everyday meals into holiday traditions. Since Blake entered Gwen\u2019s life, they\u2019ve made the labor-intensive\u00a0timpano<\/em>\u00a0pasta dome a Christmas staple. In a 2021 interview with KOST 103.5, Gwen described the dish as \u201cbasically almost like a lasagna, but it\u2019s baked inside of a dough.\u201d<\/p>\n The intricate timpano preparation involves homemade dough and sauce layered with stuffed pasta and cheese, a process the pair showcased in a 2023 video. Shelton further explained the decadent dish on\u00a0The Jennifer Hudson Show<\/em>\u00a0in 2024, humorously detailing the multiple layers of red sauce, Alfredo, \u201csome other bullcrap,\u201d and cheese. When cut open, he said, \u201cthere\u2019s heaven inside of there.\u201d<\/p>\n While their pasta dome has become a beloved tradition, not all culinary experiments have been hits. Shelton recalled a quirky Thanksgiving moment when his stepsons made a turkey coated with Flamin\u2019 Hot Cheetos\u2014a viral TikTok-inspired recipe. \u201cThere\u2019s really no point to it,\u201d he admitted with a laugh on\u00a0The Jennifer Hudson Show<\/em>\u00a0in 2023.<\/p>\n Still, when it comes to Gwen\u2019s Italian cooking, Shelton is clear: the lasagna is a labor of love he\u2019d gladly enjoy forever, proving that in their home, food is a way to celebrate family, culture, and creativity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
