Noodles with Peanut Sauce

I got this from a book "100 Best Vegetarian Recipes". But of course I changed and added a few things. I think it's physically impossible for me to follow a recipe exactly. But I've used the base of it twice and really enjoyed it. I'm sure it should feed at least two people, but I eat it almost in one sitting. I'm not really in to calorie counting. I feel like if you eat more nutrient dense foods, what's the point. I enjoy what I eat and work hard by exercising.

6 oz. cooked pasta, whole wheat preferably
1/8c. creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 T. soy sauce
1/2 T. rice vinegar
1 t. apple cider vinegar
1 t. sugar or honey
1/2 t. sesame oil
1 clove of garlic, minced
2 T. chopped scallions
1 -2 T. carrot pulp, optional, I've always got some pulp from juicing around and this was great to just throw in, I didn't even notice it.
1 c. cooked peas
1 large handful of fresh spinach, torn
1-2 T. seame seeds

Combine all ingredients except for the pasta, peas, spinach, and sesame seeds in a bowl and mix well. You may need to use a blender.

Add the remaining ingredients and stir, enjoy!
