Steps:

- While the sauce simmers, cook penne noodles in salted boiling water until cooked to al dente.
- Turn down the heat on the tomtato sauce and slowly stir or whisk the heavy cream in, saute for 2 minutes then remove the pan from the heat.
- Fold the cooked pasta into the sauce.
- Slice the chicken breasts and serve them over the pasta with more grated Parmesan, fresh chopped parsley and basil.
