Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, cubed smoked mozzarella, and chopped basil leaves.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Add the cooled pasta to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. Pour the dressing over the top and toss gently to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
