Removing sausage and adding some details (#483)

* Removing sausage and adding some details

As an italian i'm highly concerned about the use of sausage, you would do that as a last resort, same thing with linguine it's not the true thing.
However i added the options of Parmigiano and Smoked Pancetta ( i know it's controversial but at least not as much as sausage)
Also did some further changes to the preparation, adding time and adjusted ingredients and serving for 4 persons.

* Added reference to Pasta

* Made Ingredients list shorter

* Pan clarification

## Ingredients
- Spaghetti or linguine: 100 g | 3 1/2 oz pp.
- Eggs: 1
- Guanciale (cleaned and cubed): 60 g | 2 oz pp.
- Sausage: 1 (optional)
- Parmigiano-Reggiano (grated)(optional)
- Pecorino Romano (grated)(optional)
- Spaghetti: 320 g | 11 oz
- Eggs: 5
- Guanciale or Smoked Pancetta (cleaned and cubed): 150 g | 5 oz

## Directions
1. Crack the eggs in a bowl. Add a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper and optionally a dash of whole milk.
2. Fill a pot with water, and when it boils cook the pasta 1 minute less than advised. Use less salt than you would normally too.
3. Fry the guanciale in a dry pan on low to medium heat until the sides are crisp but the insides are chewy. Optionally you can open a sausage and put the insides together with guanciale. See the proportions though.
1. Crack the eggs in a bowl but only add the yolks. Add a generous amount of your preferred grated cheese (Pecorino or Parmigiano) around 35g (you can optionally add a dash of black pepper).
2. Fill a pot with water, and when it boils cook the pasta 1 minute less than advised. Use less salt than you would normally too. (see [Pasta](Pasta.html))
3. Fry the preferred pork (Guanciale or Smoked Pancetta) in a iron or nonstick pan (if using a different kind of pan add a dash of extra virgin olive oil) on low to medium heat until the sides are crisp but the insides are chewy.
4. While everything is being cooked and fried, beat the eggs manually using a fork until everything is entirely liquid. Remember to watch the time.
5. When your pasta is done (-1 minute), drain it and put it in the bowl with eggs. At this step you may consider the timing: if the pasta is too hot you will cook the eggs, and some people don't like it this way, so just wait for a minute. Keep moving and stirring to fully incorporate the eggs. Add guanciale and as many fats remaining in the pan as you want. Keep moving and stirring.
6. Plate and optionally garnish with grated cheese and freshly ground black pepper. Voila.
