Pasta w/ Szechwan Peanut Dressing

A veggie recipe for your enjoyment!
I'll post the full recipe but put the stuff I change in Italics. Enjoy!!

8 ounces pasta
2 cups broccoli florets (sometimes I don't add this b/c I'm lazy)
2 cups cherry tomatoes

Szechwan Peanut Dressing (about 3/4 cups)
1/3 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
1/2 cup hot vegetable stock or hot water
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons safflower oil
2 cloves garlic, minced (I usually just use garlic salt or powder)
1/2 teaspoon dry crushed red pepper (1 teaspoon for spicier)

Cook pasta until al dente.
Steam broccoli florets.
In a mixing bowl, whisk peanut butter and stock/hot water until smooth. Stir in remaining dressing ingredients.
Drain pasta. Pur sauce over pasta and toss to coat. Add broccoli and tomatoes toss again.
Eat.
