Uncover and cook until liquid has evaporated and broccoli is tender, 2 to 4 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons oil, vinegar, peanut butter, and soy sauce until smooth. Add cooled pasta, broccoli, scallions, and peanuts; toss to combine. Serve immediately, or refrigerate and serve chilled.

I'm not a big fan of peanuts, but I loved this pasta salad. The peanuts add a nice crunch and they don't overpower the other flavors.
