Ingredients
Ingredients4 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce2 teaspoons dried basil2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese3 cloves garlic, minced1 teaspoon white pepper1 (12 ounce) package uncooked penne pasta1 (12 ounce) chicken tenders (not breaded)1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1.Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F.
2.Bring the tomato sauce, basil, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and white pepper to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, and keep at a simmer. In another pan cook the chicken breast about 5 mins on each side. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the penne, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 7 minutes. Drain well. Add cooked chicken to noodles.
3.Spread half of the pasta sauce into the bottom of a 13 x 9 casserole dish, then add the drained pasta mixture. Pour the remaining sauce on top of the pasta, then sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
