While the pasta cooks, wash the fresh tomatoes and cut them into quarters. Slice the pitted black olives and wash the fresh basil leaves.
In a large salad bowl, combine the quartered tomatoes and torn basil leaves. Drizzle with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and toss to coat.
Drain the cooked pasta in a colander and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down.
Add the cooled pasta to the salad bowl with the tomatoes and basil. Incorporate the sliced olives, drained mozzarella balls, and tuna in olive oil.
Mix the salad thoroughly and let it rest at room temperature or in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Just before serving, season with freshly ground black pepper and a final drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
