Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Fill a medium bowl with ice water and
salt it as well. Add the broccolini to the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 to 3
minutes. Stir in the radish slices, and cook 30 seconds, more. Use a slotted spoon or strainer to
scoop out the vegetables and plunge them immediately into the ice water. Drain the vegetables, pat
them very dry.

Add the pasta to the same pot of boiling water, and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente,
about 8 to 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Whisk the sherry vinegar, orange zest, 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, radish and shallot with the dressing. Add the feta cheese and toss
lightly. Serve warm or room temperature.
