Step 1

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain the pasta in a colander and keep warm.

Step 2

Meanwhile, peel the garlic and finely chop. Cut the tomatoes in quarters, remove and discard the stems and seeds, and cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Remove and discard the stems from the basil leaves and roughly chop so most of the pieces are 1/4 inch or less. Break the mozzarella into 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan and add the tomatoes and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently for 5 minutes, or until the tomatoes are warmed through. Add the basil and stir until combined.

Step 4

Remove from the heat and stir in the hot pasta. Season with salt and pepper, stir in the mozzarella cheese, and serve immediately.
