Get your baking dish out and wipe it down with a tablespoon of vegetable oil. *Take each Chicken breast and marinate it in the butter sauce you prepared.After all six chicken breasts are marinated, lay them in your baking dish how ever you like.Then sprinkle Basil leaves over the Chicken breasts[amount desired]. Bake the chicken in the oven 350 degrees for about 1 hour. *Meanwhile fill a pot with 2 cups warm water.Add a tablespoon of salt. Set the pot on the stove and cook til the water is semi-boiling. Then add 2 lbs of the penne pasta to the water and turn your heat to medium cook for 15 mins. Stir as often as you like.When the penne is golden brown & plump drain all the access water off the pasta. Then add the marinara sauce and pepper to the penne.Add as much sauce as you'd like and a couple pinches of pepper. Stir. *When the chicken is about done[lightly golden on top] sprinkle as much aged pamesean cheese on top of the breasts as you'd like.The cheese should melt. *spread the penne with marinara sauce on a plate. Lay the chicken beast beside the Penne. If desired spread a little more marinara sauce across the chicken breast. Then your dish is ready to serve.
