Baked Rigatoni with Shrimp and Feta image

This recipe was found in "Dinner Made Easy", a Winn-Dixie publication- sounded so good I just had to try it. You don't see many dishes that feature pasta, shrimp and feta, my three favorite things. My feta was with Mediterranean Herbs - gave it a unique taste. An easy, favorite go-to dish.
