Warm Sesame Noodles with Ginger and Snow Peas

I made this as a quick lunch, omitting the snow peas because I didn't have them on hand. This was remarkably good. The sauce is light, peanutty with a hint of sesame. As another plus, it uses ingredients that are usually kept on hand. Best of all though, the entire thing only takes as long as it takes for you to cook the pasta.
