By STEFANIE DAZIO BERLIN — The suspects in the foiled plot to attack Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna earlier this month sought to kill “tens of thousands” of fans before the CIA discovered intelligence that disrupted the planning and led to arrests, the agency’s deputy director said. The CIA notified Austrian authorities of the scheme, which allegedly included links to the Islamic State group.

A “mega den” of hundreds of rattlesnakes in Colorado is getting even bigger now that late summer is here and babies are being born. Thanks to livestream video, scientists studying the den on a craggy hillside in Colorado are learning more about these enigmatic — and often misunderstood — reptiles. They’re observing as the youngsters, called pups, slither over and between adult females on lichen-encrusted rocks. The public can watch too on the Project RattleCam website and help with important work including how to tell the snakes apart.

From Italy’s Amalfi Coast, pasta alla nerano features long, thin pasta tossed with a velvety sauce made with pureed zucchini. It’s an elegant yet easy dish that’s luxurious but not heavy. In this recipe from our cookbook “ Milk Street 365: The All-Purpose Cookbook for Every Day of the Year,” we use a minimal amount of water to cook the pasta, then blend some of the starchy liquid with tender sautéed zucchini and golden garlic to create a creamy consistency without cream.

It’s easy to gush over summer food, to feel grateful for the generous produce and farmers that have eased our cooking lives.

I’m also sentimental for the staccato sounds and movements of cooking at this time of year.

Burgers are standard Labor Day fare, and while there’s nothing wrong with the classic interpretation, it can be fun to mix things up with contrasting flavors and textures. Rather than serve your burgers on the usual soft bun with a slice of melted cheddar, stuff the beef and cheese into pita halves and fry them to give your burger a perimeter of crispy fried cheese. In this recipe from our cookbook “ Milk Street 365: The All-Purpose Cookbook for Every Day of the Year,” we season the beef with yellow mustard for spicy tang and dill pickles for brininess, then fill pita halves with the mixture, forming a thin layer, along with sliced onion and cheese. The cheese hits the skillet when the sandwiches are pan-fried, crisping and developing flavorful browning, and creating an irresistible layer that complements the juicy patties.
