Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Heat 2 TBSP of the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the tomatoes, garlic, salt, and black pepper then cook, breaking up the tomatoes as it cooks, until the liquid in the pan starts to boil slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, while you cook the pasta.
Cook the pasta about a minute shy of package directions and drain.
Take the tomatoes off the heat then stir in the cooked pasta.
Transfer the contents of the pan to an 8x8-inch baking dish then lay the sliced mozzarella on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
Take the pasta out of the oven then drizzle the remaining 2 TBSP of olive oil over top and sprinkle on the freshly chopped basil.
Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
