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

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.

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.

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.
