When the pasta is cooked to your liking, drain it and immediately add the hot pasta to the skillet with the garlic and toss to coat the pasta with oil.
Pour the pasta and garlic mixture into a large serving bowl and allow the pasta to cool.
Add the halved tomatoes, mozzarella and basil to the pasta in the bowl and toss to combine. Season well with salt and pepper.
Serve room temperature.
