Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cut side up.
Sprinkle the cherry tomatoes with EVO oil, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Add fresh thyme or basil if available.
Bake the cherry tomatoes in a preheated oven at 120°C for about 1 hour and a half, until caramelized.
Clean the turnip tops by removing the tough leaves and woody parts. Blanch them in salted water for 5-7 minutes.
Sauté a garlic clove in EVO oil and add chili pepper if desired. Blend the turnip tops with the sautéed oil and a ladle of cooking water.
Cook the orecchiette in the turnip tops cooking water until al dente. Drain them and keep some cooking water.
Combine the orecchiette with the turnip tops cream in a large pan. Add cooking water for a creamy consistency.
Place the orecchiette with turnip tops cream in the center of the plate. Add the confit cherry tomatoes on top of the pasta.
Place a whole or half burrata in the center of the plate. Finish with raw EVO oil and freshly ground black pepper.
