Finely chop broccoli. Peel, then cut shallot into 1/4-inch pieces. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Halve tomatoes.
Add rigatoni to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain and return rigatoni to the same pot, off heat.
