BUTTERFLY TOMATOES WITH SALSA CRUDA

When cooking with tomatoes in September, buy them a little ahead of time if ripe beauties are unavailable, and let them ripen on your counter. Mint is wonderful, but fresh basil is great too!

6 very ripe tomatoes (about 8 ounces each)

4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves

2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest

1 teaspoon sugar

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

12 ounces farfalle (butterfly, or bow-tie, pasta)

Salt, to taste

6 ounces ricotta salata cheese

1. Core the tomatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch pieces. Place them in a large serving bowl with the garlic. (If the tomatoes seem watery, drain them first in a colander for 20 minutes, tapping it once or twice.)

2. Stir in the olive oil, 1/4 cup of the mint, the lemon zest, sugar, and pepper. Let rest for 2 to 4 hours for flavors to blend.

3. Before serving, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until it is just tender (al dente), 12 minutes. Drain and toss well with the tomato sauce. Season lightly with salt. Grate the ricotta salata over the pasta using the largest holes of the grater. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of chopped mint over all. Serve immediately.

    赫鲁晓夫全传

    在很多人的印象里,尼基塔·赫鲁晓夫是一位在联合国大会上敲鞋子的苏联领导人,事实上,他也是20世纪最复杂、最重要的政治人物之一。他谴责斯大林,释放数以百万计受害者,并为他们平反昭雪。他努力减缓冷战紧张气氛的笨拙尝试引发了柏林与古巴两次危机。作为斯大林之后头十年的苏联统治者,赫鲁晓夫给他的国家和整个世界打上了其自身矛盾的深刻印记。此外,他的一生和从政经历为我们勾勒了苏联时代的整体画卷:革命、内战、饥荒、集体化、工业化、恐怖政治、世界大战、冷战、斯大林时代、后斯大林时代。
