- Drain the mozzarella balls then cut them in half as the pasta cooks. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and mix them with the mozzarella balls in a mixing bowl. Add the pasta and basil.
- Add the olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, garlic, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to a small bowl or mason jar with a lid. Stir well, then drizzle over the pasta. Toss well and season to taste. You can refrigerate the salad for 3 days after it is made. It is best after about 30 minutes.
