Steps:
- Begin by boiling your pasta according to package directions (use salted water). Set aside cooked pasta and allow to cool for several minutes. (To keep pasta from sticking, drizzle with a bit of olive oil.)
- While pasta cooks and cools, chop tomatoes and basil, and cube mozzarella.
- Combine tomatoes, cheese, and basil with pasta and mix well.
- Make dressing by whisking together olive oil, garlic, and vinegar. Add salt and pepper to dressing to taste. Add to pasta salad, and stir to combine.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. I like to give it a little time in the fridge for the dressing to soak into the pasta, but if you're in a time crunch, no worries!
