In boiling water, cook pasta until al dente.  In a medium skillet over medium heat, saute peanut butter, lime juice, garlic, and ginger for 1 minute.  Add sesame oil if using, and saute 1 minute.  Add edamame and vegetables and cook until vegetables are tender and heated through, about 10 minutes.  If using protein, add to skillet when vegetables are partially cooked, approximately 5 minutes.  Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.  Pour over pasta and toss to thoroughly coat noodles.  Top with scallions and garnish with lime wedges.
