For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a small knob of butter at the very end, stirring until melted and incorporated. Fresh peas are preferable when in season, but frozen peas work perfectly well and are a convenient alternative. If you don't have fresh thyme, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried thyme. Add it along with the wine to allow it to rehydrate. A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese adds a delightful salty and umami finish.
