Fast and Easy Pizza

"We should look for someone to eat and drink with before looking for something to eat and drink."  Epicurus  

One of my favorite breads that I was introduced to by a dear, food-lovin' friend is called Naan.  This soft, flatbread is described as a bread of India or a bread popular in south or central Asia depending on the Internet source you read.  Whatever.  I generally have a package of Naan on hand in the whole wheat version.  It's a nice addition to a meal.

Naan Pizza
The other night as I was lining up the leftovers in my fridge I realized that I had the makings of a pizza.  There was a jar that contained about 1/4 cup of spaghetti sauce, some soy pork sausage, a small container of sauteed peppers and onions, and a small chunk of Havarti dill cheese.  There was also some Naan.

I warmed the sauce and veggies so I wouldn't have to bake the resulting concoction to death and dry out the Naan.  Once I layered on the warm sauce, veggies, sausage and cheese, I slipped my creation into a pan and then into the oven for just a few minutes to melt the cheese.  At this point I was going to artfully display the Naan pizza on a lovely platter for a photo shoot.  Unfortunately, someone got to the pizza before the artful phase could happen.  I had obviously found someone to eat with!

One Naan per person is a reasonable serving for this pizza creation.  With a salad on the side it makes a mighty fine meal.
