As usual, I preach the value of a well stocked pantry and freezer. There are items in both that are a must for creating fabulous, quick meals. One of my favorite quick meal staples is puff pastry. From beef (or salmon) wellington to fruit tarts to fancy pizzas, puff pastry is a versatile ingredient that is rarely missing from my freezer.
For this puff pastry pizza, I strayed from the usual cheesy, marinara pizza to create pizza that is great as a quick dinner or a party perfect appetizer, combining savory sausage, peppers, and a spicy aioli.
