Pasta by Jamie Oliver
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Jamie Oliver has several carbonara recipes, as the dish is very versatile and can be prepared in completely different ways. To make Jamie Oliver's "Carbonara" pasta, you'll need linguine pasta, cream, minced meat (for meatballs), cheese, and eggs. Despite involving several separate steps, the dish is very simple and quick to make. The finished dish is ready to be served.

Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. Season the ground meat with salt and pepper. Optionally, add Provence herbs or meat seasoning to taste. Shape the meat into small balls. If making larger ones (like meatballs), you'll get about 6 pieces.

Step 2
You can prepare the meatballs in various ways: by frying, stewing, or baking them in the oven. I usually fry sliced bacon, add it to the pot with the meatballs along with the frying fat, and then bake until done. You can also stew them in a pot.

Add the sauce made from cream and egg yolks. By the way, you can add grated cheese separately. Stir until the sauce heats through, but do not let the eggs curdle; it should thicken slightly.

The cheese should soften, but don't overdo it, otherwise everything will clump together and start to burn.
