Though Christmas is as big a night as any, there’s one dish that won’t appear on Stanley Tucci’s dinner table.
While the timpano—a layered pasta dish often featuring vegetables, meat, cheese and eggs baked in a layer of dough—was a holiday staple throughout Stanley’s childhood, the dish likely won’t make an appearance this year.

“Unless my mother and father come, there won’t be,” Stanley told E! News in an exclusive interview. “My wife hates it. No one likes it, except me and my son Nicolo. Huge amount of effort for just two people.”
