I add garlic powder, onion powder, chopped garlic, frozen peas and carrots and saute with the onions and garlic. You could add pork or shrimp or bacon to this recipe too. I use green onions and yellow onions, and even celery. If in a hurry and don't want to chop onions use the frozen chopped onions or the frozen chopped onions with celery and pepper mix.

I like to add broccoli to my recipe or peas are good too. Also for a lighter version use light Parmesan sauce instead of the Alfredo sauce. They both taste just great. If you want your sauce to go farther or if it gets dry just add a little milk to make it more moist. I also like to add grated light or low fat mozzarella cheese too.
