Laravel - Views

I'm in the process of transitioning from using CodeIgniter to something a but more fun like Laravel. I'm also learning to use the Blade templating engine with Laravel. I used to be able to do this in CI to render a view as HTML:

$this->load->view('about', $data, TRUE);

After reading Laravels documentation on views and some articles on StackOverflow, I can't figure out how to accomplish this with Laravel/Blade.
