Everyone's tastes are different, but we like two or three canned artichoke hearts cut in two and I know you already said you have tomatoes, but throw in about 4 or 5 sundried tomatoes as well. They add an extra burst of flavor. Instead of the artichokes, you could also try a nice bunch of asparagus. Lastly, using just what you have mentioned, try a medium size can of navy or white beans... this is typical of northern italy and also adds a uniqeness...Best of luck!

1/4 cup chopped green onions

2 teaspoons cornstarch

How about some fresh chillies, that should give it a bit of a bite, or a little bit of pesto or reduced fat Hummous, thats lovely mixed in pasta. Enjoy.
Do it however you were going to with a few chilli flakes, garlic puree and tons of fresh basil!
