Chris, Michelle has told me that you
do not do much cooking.
Let's just get straight to it, OK?
So, much would be a generous assessment.
I don't do any cooking.
None, absolutely none.
All right, so we're going to be making a one pot veggie pasta.
CHRIS: OK.
LAILA: How's that sound?
It's going to be fun to learn how
to do something in the kitchen.
All right, looking like you are ready to cook, man.
I got to pretend the part, yes.
That's right.
Let's start cooking.
All right, let's cook this thing.
So we are simply going to put everything in this pot,
and put it on the stove.
CHRIS: All right.
Why don't you go ahead and drop these onions into--
yeah, pop it on in there. CHRIS: [INAUDIBLE]
Perfect. Thank you.
I'm going to put in the yellow peppers, and get this garlic in
and the crushed tomatoes.
CHRIS: Should I grab the tomato paste?
LAILA: Sure, let's do sassy seasoning.
CHRIS: Have some of the sassy seasoning.
I like that.
This is amazing, because it adds
so much flavor without salt.
Very good. CHRIS: Yeah, OK.
LAILA: So next let's go ahead and put the pasta in.
CHRIS: All right.
Then we're going to cook in our broth.
CHRIS: Smell some of these flavors already.
Yeah, why don't you stir this up a little bit.
Carefully.
Gonna put some pepper in.
And then next we're going to add our fresh spinach.
Just going to use about a handful of this.
All right, so I'm going to bring that to a boil.
Yes indeed.
LAILA: We got a little clean up to do.
This homemade simple multi-purpose spray is made
with plant based ingredients.
OK.
LAILA: And when it comes to cleaning the kitchen,
it gets the job done.
- This smells great. - Yeah, it's a lavender scent.
I love it. CHRIS: Indeed.
Now I'm going to use this basil to garnish our pasta.
Smell it.
Oh, that smells real good.
Strong.
Yeah, very nice.
LAILA: Now we're just going to tear the basil.
We don't even need a knife to do this.
I could not possibly be making this easier for you.
But we're about to take things to the next level, all right?
- OK. - OK.
Pasta should be ready.
CHRIS: Fantastic.
LAILA: Doesn't that look great?
It looks-- it smells great, too.
LAILA: Oh my gosh.
Well, I think Michelle needs to see this.
I don't know, it's just--
No, no, no, no. She needs to see you in action.
I want you to do the rest, do the garnish and everything.
I'm going to call her, OK?
All right.
Michelle?
Oh, look at you.
Surprise, surprise.
Apron.
Your man has prepared a fresh, home cooked meal for you.
What?
Sure did, mm-hmm.
Uh-huh.
We did pasta 101.
So he has no more excuses, because he
knows how to prepare this meal.
Is super easy and healthy.
MICHELLE: Exactly.
I thought you were adding garnish with our fresh basil
that he picked off of this beautiful basil plant.
I did.
And we got some feta cheese.
Look at that.
That's right.
A little bit of that feta.
MICHELLE: Feel like I'm in a restaurant.
CHRIS: Mm-hmm. You are, boo.
MICHELLE: Right, I know there's going to be good.
Oh, that's good.
Oh, this is really good.
CHRIS: That is exceptional.
LAILA: All right, Chris, so this was the first time cooking
a real meal in your kitchen.
How did it feel?
Unusual. Uncomfortable.
But it's OK.
When the results are this good, I do not mind.
Michelle, you haven't done much cooking in this kitchen
either, right? MICHELLE: No.
I want to help get it set up, have all the pots and utensils,
and really feel comfortable in here, to really cook.
And this really inspired.
CHRIS: Boo.
Only needs one pot.
LAILA: This is a great one pot meal,
but I have to say, I want Michelle to have what she needs
to prepare tons of meals, because you're
going to be living many happy years in this kitchen.
So I want you to know that everything that you see
is yours.
Pots to the spoons, yes.
Yes.
CHRIS: Oh, don't cry.
She's crying.
See, see, see?
See how big of a deal this was?
[INAUDIBLE] emotional. Oh.
See, because a woman needs her pots and pans in the kitchen.
Yes, she does.
That's what makes a house a home.
MICHELLE: So excited. It just looks so beautiful.
And I feel like it's a big step to us
integrating our lives together.
You know, what I mean I have my happiest days cooking
in my kitchen with my family.
I put on music, I dance.
So much love goes into meals.
And that's why we're so inspired to leave you all of this.
And you mentioned the flavors, because seasoning
is the most important thing. Right?
Without the flavors, then there really ain't nothing there.
Agreed.
So I'm going to leave you my Laila Ali spiced blends.
The organic spice blend.
Well, it's been fun cooking with you Chris, but me and my team
have so much more work to do, so I want to send you guys off.
And when you come back you're not only
going to have this shared kitchen,
you're also going to have a shared master bedroom.
- Yes indeed. - Sounds good?
CHRIS: [INAUDIBLE]
Can't wait.
Normally I would make you do the dishes,
but I'll let you go since you did such a great job.
All right, let's go before she changes her mind.
Thank you, appreciate you, Laila.
Love you, bye-bye.
