For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter slightly before adding the flour. Be careful not to burn it! A pinch of nutmeg adds a warm, comforting note to the cream sauce. Fresh herbs, such as chopped parsley or chives, can be stirred in at the end for a pop of color and freshness. To make this dish even richer, substitute half-and-half or heavy cream for part of the milk. If you don't have frozen peas and onions, you can use fresh peas and finely chopped onions. Adjust the cooking time as needed.
