Zesty Tomato Cream Chicken Pasta

I'm a sucker for anything that has the words "Zesty" and "Wine" in it, and this pasta is no exception.  In fact, its very birth was a miracle considering my stove stopped working in the middle of it and then magically came back to life!  My original idea for this did not come to pass because I cannot seem to ever remember to buy everything on my grocery list, but perhaps it was a beautiful accident because this was dog gone good!

• 1 Packet Zesty Italian Seasoning
• 2 Tablespoons of Pesto
• 1 1/2 Cups of Half & Half
• 8 Ounces of Tomato Juice
• 1/2 Cup White Wine
• 4 Tablespoons of Flour
• 4 Tablespoons of Butter
• 4 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
• 3 Chicken Breasts Diced
• 1/2 Cup of Mushrooms
• 1/4 Cup of Parmesan
• Half a package of Angel Hair Pasta

If you have time to prep, marinate the chopped chicken with the Italian Seasoning and Pesto. Toss this in the skillet on medium high heat with the olive oil until cooked and crispy on the outside. Add in mushrooms for about a minute.  Set aside.

Turn the heat to low and whisk the butter and olive oil until a nice roux occurs. Stir in cream, tomato sauce, wine, and parmesan and let simmer while you cook your noodles.

Toss the pasta and chicken into the sauce and serve!
