Eating out syns... Am I missing something?

His afternoon, me & my fiancé took our kids to Wetherspoons for dinner. I chose the pasta pomodoro (basically pasta, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, basil, black pepper) which is 428 cals. I've have a Google search and found it noted down as 14 syns... But surely this can't be right? It was a small amount of dried pasta with a small amount of tomatoey sauce and rocket. Where are the syns coming from? The olive oil alone surely cannot equate to 14 syns?!!

Help!!
 
Are you sure it was dried pasta? Fresh pasta has syns. Also there could be plenty of oil on it and one level tablespoon is 6 syns. Plus tomato based sauces often contain sugar (Dolmios once a week claim anyone?)

Of course 14 syns could be wrong but best to err on side of caution.
