This extravagant Italian dish was transformed into an unexpected Christmas tradition by Gweո Stefaոi aոd Blake Sheltօո.

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani don’t take any chances, especially when it comes to Christmas.
Speaking with ET prior to Monday’s season 24 semifinals of The Voice, Stefani shared details of her and Shelton’s unusual Christmas meal custom.

“We started off by always trying to find something that wasn’t a tradition—like, let’s try something different, try something new,” Stefani said. “We happened upon this delicacy called Timpano Dome, which is essentially lasagna served in a dome made of pasta or bread. That’s what we’ve been doing for a few years now, so yes.” “Probably some Italians might get mad about this, because typically it would be a pasta wrapped around it, but we started doing a pizza dough because it tastes yummy,” she said. This year, I might make the dough myself, which would require a lot of work on Christmas Day. However, I might really carry it out the day before.”

A timpano is a “very festive, drum-shaped, baked pasta torte filled with all kinds of delectable goodies,” according to The New York Times. Americans became fascinated with the Timpano Dome after seeing the 1996 film Big Night, starring Stanley Tucci. This version of the timpano elevates the extravagant meal to a new level with a dome-like shell.
