Proper way to pass a hard-coded value from route to controller (Laravel)?

I have a PagesController with one action: view. This action accepts a page argument.

What I want to achieve:

Have a routes example.com/about and example.com/foobar. When one of this routes is triggered, pass a value predefined in routes file to PagesController@view.

In my routes file:

Route::get('about', function () {
    return App::make('App\Http\Controllers\PagesController')->view('about');
})->name('aboutPage');

Route::get('foobar', function () {
    return App::make('App\Http\Controllers\PagesController')->view('foobar');
})->name('foobarPage');

It works as expected, but I want to know is there a better and more proper way to achieve the same functionality?
