The flavors of the goat cheese, eggplant and the radicchio compliment each other in this penne pasta. And the dish makes for great leftovers. The bitterness of the radicchio is nicely softened by the sweetness of the eggplant. The recipe calls for goat cheese, but feel free to swap it out for any cheese you’d like!
