what do easy vegans do with leftover spaghetti?

....i can hear you cry.. well, wonder no longer.. cause i am going to tell you. i'll tell you what THIS easy vegan does....
today i needed a spot of chewy protein so i reached into my gorgeous freezer (in the house we rent we have a proper american fridge - it's my One True Love.. aside from my kids.. who,sadly, don't have a 'quick can cooler' feature - and pulled out the box of fry's meatless chicken strips.
i heated my frying pan and dry fried the strips with the lid on  (adds a little moisture), then i added the spaghetti.. the one with the sauce (it was sparingly covered cause my girls and i don't like loads of sauce) from last night. then i added 3 tsp of capers, a good palm full of kalamata olives and i stirred it all together and heated it for a couple of minutes.. took it off the heat, threw in some basil leaves,stirred that up, posed it all fancy in my best bowl with some chopped avo on top and... VOILA! 
i had planned on spraying some nice balsamic vinegar on it when i actually ate it.but after i tasted it it was so good with just a squeeze of fresh lemon.. i feel very happy and i will urge anyone to try the same.
