Preheat the oven to 120°C (250°F).
In a baking dish, combine cherry tomatoes, olive oil, garlic cloves, and sprigs of thyme. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir to coat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes until the tomatoes are blistered and soft.
While tomatoes are baking, cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 0.5 cup of pasta water, then drain.
In a skillet over medium heat, add bread crumbs and a tablespoon of olive oil. Toast until golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the cooked pasta, confit tomatoes with oil, and reserved pasta water. Toss over medium heat until the pasta is well-coated.
Divide the pasta among plates. Top with torn burrata and sprinkle with golden bread crumbs.
Garnish with additional thyme leaves if desired.
