In a large pot, bring 2 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil. Add penne pasta and cook according to package instructions, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta and set aside.

While the pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper over medium-high heat.

Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 4 minutes.

Add the grated parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until the cheese has melted.

In a large serving bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the sauce.

Top the pasta with pre-cooked Cajun chicken breast strips, diced tomatoes, and sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
