Drain and set aside.Whisk the sherry vinegar, the 3/4 teaspoon salt and pepper, to taste, in a large serving bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a dressing.Toss the rigatoni, broccolini, and shallot with the dressing. Add the feta cheese and toss lightly. Serve warm or room temperature. Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BIGREDTX.
