Cook noodles. Strain. Add a splash of olive oil, a dash of salt, some basil, and a few shakes of garlic powder. Crisp the Chik’n Strips in a pan. Once crisp, remove strips, and throw a handful or two of pine nuts into pan. Heat and shake for a couple of minutes. Keep a close eye on the pine nuts- they burn easily. Slice cucumbers.
