Vegetarian Peanut Noodles

Vegetarian Peanut Noodles

1 (8 oz.) linguine, cooked and hot (really, any type of long noodle will do)
1/2 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
1/3 cup reserved pasta water (more or less to thin out the sauce)
1-2 T brown sugar
1-2 T soy sauce
1 tsp. fresh ginger or 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
2-3 green onions, thinly sliced, white and tender green parts only
cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Whisk together the peanut butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, and ginger. Add the water a little at a time until the sauce reaches desired consistency. Pour over the noodles and toss to coat. Add the veggies and toss again. Garnish and serve.
