[Crew Member] Are you excited to meet three sexy ladies? Yes, I am sweating right now. My name is Kiohona. My name is Alexandra. My name is Vi. My name is Elia. I am from a small town called Trento in Northern Italy. It's very well known for wine and there's a bunch of cows around. So I was with someone until three months ago and then we broke up. And the breakup was actually quite hard. So, actually getting back into the dating scene has been, man, I feel like I've been rusty, honestly. My name is Alexandra Catalano, 'cause I am Italian but I am from Sherman Oaks, California. I like Italian cooking because my family's Italian and I grew up eating lots of homemade pasta and fresh foods. Use some kale. I feel like that's a lot of kale. We'll save the rest for later. This is the secret sauce to all Italian food, when in doubt, add garlic. Had to go on my tippy toes. I don't know if he's gonna like this. This might upset him. He's a real Italian person. This is chickpeas because I'm a millennial and millennials hate gluten. So I did something that I think he might hate but I didn't mean to. I'm a healthy lifestyle person and I have a food blog and I'm a nutritionist. So I like to take foods that people love and make them healthy. So I made a kale pesto and I'm doing it with a chickpea pasta, which I think will upset him but... I wanna show him who I am and what I would cook and if he doesn't like it, I totally understand. It looks awesome. I mean, presentation is so colorful. I love the connection with the green and the yellow. I love that they actually took the time to put the little pesto pieces, I guess, by the side of the dish. Wait 'til he eats it. Oh God. You really hated it, huh? I was upset by this dish. I could've done better. So it looks like pasta al pesto con piselli, which is equivalent of pesto pasta with peas. Ooh, does he speak Italian? I want him to whisper in my ear all night, girl. Pasta, just pasta. Whispers pasta dishes to you. Mm, say that again? Ooh, rigatoni. What is this thing called? I swear, I should know what the name of this is. It looks like pesto, but it's like, slightly more creamy than I expected. So I'm actually curious to try what this sauce is. It might just be pesto. I'll tell him what it is. He sound(s) real sexy, though. He really do(es). It looks like it's someone that cares about presentation as a whole. They care about the way that they show up to the world. I don't know why, (but) this kind of reminds me of someone that's like vegetarian or vegan, which to me is a plus because I'm vegetarian. It might be, just the fact that it's green, but yeah. I don't know why the peas remind me of someone that's maybe slightly more outgoing. This is gonna hurt. Go, Alex. (It) looks like he likes it. (It) loks like he likes it. This is incredible. The sauce, I can really feel the basil coming out and it feels like it's actually basil that has been made into the sauce recently. I wonder if the actual sauce has been handmade by them, but it's really, really good. Got this in the bag, see confidence. Get it together. I do wish one thing, and that is slightly more salt. The sauce itself makes it really stand out, but there's a little bit of a lack of salt. That's what I said when I tried it. I was like, you need some salt, honey. Hello, my name is Vi and I grew up in Pennsylvania. I love Italian food so much. I don't know if it was Garfield or just really loving noodles ever since I was a kid, but it's my favorite food. Give me pasta and I'm happy. My stepdad, tėtis is Lithuanian for dad. So my tėtis, he taught me how to cook when I was really young. Okay, now my trick for the stock is that with the last 30 minutes, I add a ton of nutritional yeast. Okay, and I'm gonna put a little bit more pepper on there, oh, my God. I made all of the noodles from scratch and then it's a cauliflower tomato sauce with zucchini and bell pepper mixed in. Thank you. This looks like fries, but I don't think it's fries because it's not quite Italian. This looks really interesting. I cannot quite tell what it is to be honest. Oh no. But this might actually be a good sign. I see a lot of what I'm gonna call cheese. I'm not sure if it's cheese. I think it's cheese. Is that a cheesy person? I'm in those dad jokes, okay. It actually does look really good. I'm looking forward to trying it. So it's definitely not pasta. It's made of cauliflower? - No, I mena the sauce is. But it's, I mean... Homemade pasta and he said, it's not pasta. Well, he's an Italian man. None of our pastas are gonna be pasta. Let me try again. Is it wrong that I like watching him chew? I do like it. It's slightly spicy, but in a way that's not overbearing, which is awesome. Is it a bad thing that I don't know what this is. Yes, sir. Sometimes, you don't need to know what it is. You just need enjoy it. [Crew Member] What are you predicting? This is someone that's complete. That's like, cares about creating a unique experience that hits on many different points. This is totally something I could eat for the whole day and like, be satiated by it. Okay, okay. I'm still trying to figure out what this is. This feels like the complete package. I'm so happy for you. My name is Kiohona. I was originally born in New York. So growing up in New York, that's who I was raised around, black people and Italian. We gonna put our love in this and make it do what to do. (water sloshing) (oil sizzling) Crushed tomato. Time for the carrots. It's looking good. I'm not finna front. You smell good. Today, I cooked an Italian inspired stuffed red pepper. I think he's gonna think, "Oh, this girl's got flavor." This actually looks awesome. I think I'm gonna enjoy this. I'm winning this Italian man. It looks like pepperoni con formaggio. This is actually quite exciting to me. Yeah, you should be excited. It's about to be a party in your mouth, food. This sounds like someone that may be busy, on the go, and has a lot of things going on and they don't really have a lot of time to actually make food, which I am like that too. Yeah, always busy. That is me. Really hot. Taste is incredible. He loves it. Taste is incredible! It's so good. Oh, honey. It's actually really, really freaking good. Really, really freaking good! Oh, my God. The way in which she combines the flavors is honestly a 10 out of 10. Oh, my God. Why do I feel like I just won American Idol? Oh man. This is actually incredible. I really wanna finish this. This is someone that looks good. Tastes good. Yeah, I'm actually really excited about meeting this girl. Oh God. My heart is melting. Pepper girl wins. I love the way you put this together. I love the fact that you seem efficient and flavorful. I love that you went with many different flavors which happened to combine together really freaking well. I decided Kiohona. You're literally a light that shines into a room and everyone's like... Oh, my God! - No, seriously. - Did I just meet my husband? All right, all right, all right, you know what? Let's go on a date. Let's go. Bye. Thank you, Buzzfeed! Ciao.
