Now happily married, the chef told PEOPLE that he “has not changed a thing” and that it’s a meal the couple still enjoys together.
“I had no pressure in doing this dish. It’s a dish that was the turning point of my life and if I was to go home for it I wanted people to know about this story and how special this dish is for me,” he said.
“My wife on the other hand didn’t get to know the result and was panicking her way back to New York and was hoping that I didn’t get sent home for the dish,” Lo added. “We have a chuckle about if I were to get eliminated for this dish that we might have to change the name to ‘divorce me pasta.'”
