For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic or a finely chopped shallot when sautéing the celery. Fresh peas can be used instead of frozen; simply adjust the cooking time accordingly. A squeeze of lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors of the dish. Adjust the amount of white pepper to taste. A dash of nutmeg also works well. For a richer flavor, a teaspoon of olive oil can be used instead of cooking spray.
