You can certainly throw these into some sauce and serve with pasta. I gave them to my boys with a little sauce and melted mozzarella. For myself I thew them over some brown rice mixed with sauteed onions and peas. You can throw them over a salad as an alternative to chicken... so many options for these little bites of yumminess!
