Prepare the Peanut Butter Sauce:
In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Gradually add warm water to reach a smooth, sauce-like consistency.
Combine Pasta and Sauce:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti with the peanut butter sauce. Toss until the pasta is evenly coated. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
Add the Pickle Mix:
Gently fold in the chopped dill pickles and red onion into the pasta.
Garnish and Serve:
Plate the pasta and garnish with crushed peanuts, extra dill, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat, if desired.
