Chilli Oil Spaghetti with Grilled Salmon 
and 
ButterLime Garlic Sauce



This is an easy spaghetti recipe which takes  a few minutes to prep. It's a family favourite dish and is always requested by the kids and my husband.

This spaghetti is Al-a Aglio e Olio which is so so easy to make. You wont have to make your sauce from scratch and wont have to use any of those bottleded sauces. Its also infused with chilli oil which brings the heat while keeping it tolerable for most people. Most importantly it's a budget friendly dish using simple pantry ingrediants. Here's how I made it.

       BASQUE BURNT CHEESECAKE  It is a no crust cheesecake with a rustic appearance. A soft gooey centre and not overly sweet with a hint of burnt caremal from the burnished top. This cheesecake is truly something to love.  TIPS TO BAKE BASQUE BURNT CHEESE CAKE : Make sure all ingredients are in room temperature. It ensures a smooth mixture. : Time and temperature are the most important parts of this recipe. I'm using a 6-inch cake pan. In my convection oven, I bake it at 200c for 40 minutes. (But time may vary depending on your oven). You should not bake the cake longer then indicated, even if it looks a bit wobbly in the centre. If you leave in the oven too long it will result a curdle cheesecake texture. Even though you want the cake to look dark, you don't want it to burn. If it gets too dark fast while baking, cover with aluminum foil. Should you find that your cake is almost close to baking but hasn't taken on the colour you like. What you can do is turn on the grill
