Rigatoni a la Vodka with Peas


We love pasta! We usually have it once a week or so, because it always seems to make for an easy week-night meal. I had this recipe floating around in my files to try forever...no sure where it came from...but I'm sure glad I decided to try it. It was quick, easy, and delicious!
Rigatoni a la Vodka with Peas

1/2 lb . Rigatoni
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
