This is my version of Pioneer Woman's Penne a la Betsy and it's absolutely divine! I love a good, creamy pasta, especially one that mixes tomato sauce with a cream sauce.

3/4 pounds Penne pasta
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup prepared tomato sauce
1 cup half & half
Fresh basil (about 8-10 leaves), chopped or chiffonaded
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 1/4- 1/2 cup, divided)
Salt and Pepper

Cook penne pasta according to package directions, until al dente. Heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet. Add chicken, salt and pepper to taste, and cook until done throughout, about 6-8 minutes....
