Warm Greek Pasta Salad (Msg Free) image

I love Kalamata olives, and find that they add a rich, savory flavor to my meals. (I get mine from big lots, look for them by the specialty foods in your grocery store.) This simple salad is a great use for leftover pasta - or you can make pasta just for this recipe. The ingredients are all msg free and low in free glutamates - if that is not a concern for you a few halved cherry tomatoes would be a great addition. This make three small or two large servings.
