TIPS Extra seasonings and spices will go a long way in adding flavor to a boring jar of sauce. Some of my personal favorites include salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, dried basil, oregano, onion powder or seasoned salt. Start with small amounts (1/2 teaspoon at a time) and add as needed, in order to avoid over-spicing.

TIPS Since this is a creamy sauce to begin with, cheese makes the perfect addition. Add up to 1/2 cup of any melty cheese such as cheddar, mozzarella, gouda or cream cheese. Or add up to 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Tip: Avoid low-fat cream cheese to avoid a low-quality, grainy end result.

TIPS Toss in some chopped vegetables for not only extra flavor, but for a variety of textures as well. Great options include fresh broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, onions or Brussels sprouts.
