Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Prepare the Sauce
While the pasta is cooking, wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

Combine Ingredients
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the sautéed cherry tomatoes. Toss well to combine. Add in the mozzarella cheese and fresh basil leaves, stirring until the cheese starts to melt slightly.
