PENNE WITH RADICCHIO AND GOAT CHEESE
I sauté most of the radicchio in this recipe in olive oil with garlic and chile flakes, but I hold some back to add at the end for color and texture. The cooked radicchio sweetens a bit but still has a bitter edge. Just before tossing with the cooked pasta I ladle in some cooking water from the pasta, which you should be careful not to over-salt, add the goat cheese and stir until it has melted. The result is irresistible. It will work just as well with other bitter greens like endive and dandelions, as well as with blanched greens like kale.

Steps:
- Quarter and core radicchio, then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch wide strips. Set aside 2 cups of the cut up radicchio.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta and salt generously (but not too generously as you will add some of this water to the radicchio). Add pasta.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium heat in a large heavy skillet or wide saucepan and add garlic and red pepper flakes. As soon as it begins to sizzle and smell fragrant add radicchio, except for the 2 cups you set aside, and salt to taste. Stir together until radicchio has wilted, about 5 minutes.
- When pasta is just about ready, using a ladle transfer 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water to pan with radicchio. Add goat cheese and stir together. Stir in radicchio you set aside. Drain pasta and add to pan with cooked radicchio and goat cheese. Add chives, toss together, and serve at once.
