Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process, then set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the mozzarella cheese into small cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled pasta, halved cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cubes, and fresh basil leaves.
Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the pasta mixture. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Toss the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated with the dressing.
Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
