Stanley Tucci Shares The One Dish Wife Felicity Blunt Won’t Let Him Cook for Christmas

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.  

After all, his wife Felicity Blunt—sister of actress Emily Blunt—is especially not a fan.

“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.”

With favorability against the timpano‚ so beloved by the actor it was the pièce de résistance of his 1996 film Big Night, he added,  “So most likely it’s not going to happen, which is heartbreaking.”

Nostalgia aside, the Devil Wears Prada star’s holiday table is sure to be a delicious one for its lucky attendees, including Nicolo’s twin sister Isabel, 24, daughter Camilla, 21, the three of whom he shared with his late wife Kate, as well as his and Felicity’s children Matteo, 9, and Emilia, 6.
