Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In the bowl of a food processor, pulse flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 3/4 cup of pine nuts, and salt until finely ground. Add the butter. Pulse dough just until it comes together.
- Place the dough into an 11-inch diameter tart pan with a removable bottom and press down to cover the bottom and sides of the pan. Refrigerate until the dough is firm, about 30 minutes.
- Line the tart shell with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake the tart shell in the lower third of the oven until just set, about 25 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and pie weights. Bake until the tart shell is lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Cool completely.
- Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar with the water in a small saucepan over low heat. You don't want to boil the water, you just want to heat it so that the sugar can dissolve thoroughly. Stir until the sugar dissolves and remove from heat.
- In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the ricotta cheese and cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs and egg yolks, 1 at a time, and process until smooth. With the machine running, add the sugar syrup in a thin steady stream and process until smooth.
- Pour the custard into the tart shell and bake until the filling is almost set, about 20 to 25 minutes. Scatter the remaining 3/4 cup of toasted pine nuts atop the filling. Bake until the custard is set, about 10 minutes longer. Let the tart cool completely before serving.
- The tart can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Return the tart to room temperature before serving.

TOMATO AND RICOTTA SALAD
From the LA Times, this salad is a taste of summer. Tomatoes from the garden or the farm market and ricotta you make yourself--yum! The directions look long--but it's really simple and you can take a shortcut and buy your ricotta, but do try making your own--it's really luscious. Prep time does not include time to cool the homemade ricotta. Note: If you have 'ordinary' balsamico, you can simmer it over medium low heat, uncovered, for a few minutes and thicken it slightly--it will taste much richer.

Steps:
- For the ricotta:.
- In a heavy saucepan, warm the milk, buttermilk and nutmeg over high heat; stir the mixture frequently until it reaches 120 degrees (warm to the touch), about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Now stir occasionally; the milk will begin to separate; when it reaches 175 degrees to 180 degrees, about 1 to 2 minutes, gently scrape the bottom of the saucepan; the curds will rise to the top; cook at 180 degrees for 1 minute.
- Line a strainer or colander with cheesecloth and place it over a bowl or pot large enough to catch the liquid from the cheese and pour the contents of the saucepan into the strainer.
- Gently stir in the Parmesan and salt while the mixture is still hot.
- Gather up the corners of the cheesecloth and tie it up with string and let it drain for 15 minutes.
- Once the ricotta is at room temperature, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use (makes 1 cup).
- For the croutons:.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Tear the baguette into chunks, toss lightly with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 10 minutes until golden (makes 2 cups).
- For the assembly of the salad:.
- Cut the tomatoes (which you have NOT refrigerated)into different shapes and sizes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste; drizzle the tomatoes with the olive oil; and arrange on serving plates.
- Drizzle the tomatoes with the aged balsamic vinegar.
- Scatter the croutons and torn basil atop the tomatoes.
- Top each salad with two quenelles of ricotta cheese (use two tablespoons to form the cheese into ovals, each about a tablespoon of cheese).

SUMMER SALAD WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE
This refreshing recipe goes well with grilled fish or chicken. We enjoy the lemon vinaigrette dressing at room temperature, so I make it first and let it rest on the counter while I toss the salad together. -Julie Kirkpatrick, Billlings, Montana
