Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Crumble the sausage into the pan and sauté until brown, about 5 minutes.
Add the eggplant and sauté until slightly browned, about 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the Barilla Piccolini® Mini Penne according to the directions on the package.
Add the grape tomatoes, salt and pepper. Continue to sauté until the tomatoes are blistered and warmed through, about 2 minutes.
Drain and add the pasta to the sauce; toss and finish with the cheese.
