Olive Tapenade Pasta

I was planning to make something else tonight.  But I got home late.  And it was raining.  Which seems unrelated, but somehow it is.  

I threw this pasta together because I had some olive tapenade left over from the tuna sandwiches.  It was pretty tasty and a good way to use up leftover tapenade.  Scot really enjoyed it because he has mad allergies right now and can hardly taste anything, but this pasta has lots of strong flavors from the tapenade and goat cheese.  He thought this pasta was really good.  I enjoyed it too.  Plus, it is so quick to make!
