In a large frying pan, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Add the radicchio and garlic. Cover and cook , stirring occasionally, until the radicchio wilts, about 2 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper and cook, uncovered, until the vinegar is syrupy, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. Drain the orecchiette. Toss the orecchiette, radicchio and arugula just until the arugula wilts. Serve with Parmesan.
