For a richer flavor, substitute half-and-half or heavy cream for the milk. A pinch of nutmeg adds a warm, aromatic note to the dish. Fresh peas, blanched and shocked in ice water, can be used in place of canned peas for a brighter, fresher taste. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk to thin it out.
