Roll out the Basic Fresh Egg Pasta dough, cut into ribbons on largest setting (about ⅜-inch). Drop pasta into boiling water and cook 1 to 2 minutes until al dente. Drain in colander over sink.
Pour hot pasta into pan with sausage mixture. Add radicchio and cook over medium heat 1 minute, just to wilt the radicchio. Do not overcook the radicchio or it will darken in color. Add grated cheese, stir to mix and divide evenly onto 4 warm dinner plates. Put 2 drops of balsamic vinegar on each serving. Serve immediately.
