Thai-style warm noodle salad

This recipe from some cookbook I borrowed from library ages ago. Not
sure what cookbook it was. I've rearranged the directions a bit as I
find it easier this way. And we've found that it is much better warm
than at room temperature.

Thai-style warm noodle salad

8 oz uncooked angel hair pasta, broken in half
1/2 c chunky peanut butter
1/4 c soy sauce
1/4 to 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 carrot, shredded

Shred carrot and slice green onions.

Blend peanut butter, soy sauce and red pepper flakes in bowl until smooth.

Cook pasta according to package directions.

Drain pasta, reserving 1 c water. Mix half of hot pasta water with
peanut butter mixture until smooth. Toss pasta with sauce. If still
hard to mix together easily, add more water. Stir in green onions and
carrots. Serve warm or at room temperature.

For a heartier meal, chicken or beef can be added.
