In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.
In a medium saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until softened, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the tomatoes, mozzarella and basil, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.
Drain, (save a cup of cooking water) but don't rinse the spaghetti. Immediately add it to the tomato mixture. Check the seasoning and garnish with additional basil and parsley, if desired. If a little liquid is needed, slowly add in the pasta cooking water until it is to your liking.
