The Guinness world record for the largest box of pasta measures 1.54 m (5 ft 0.6 in) in height and 1.30 m (4 ft 3.8 in) in width and was created by Barilla Gida A.S. (Turkey), in Istanbul, Turkey.

Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest bowl of pasta ; it weighed 6,253 kg (13,786 lb) and was made by Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant (USA), at the chain's Anaheim restaurant, Garden Grove, California, USA.

  Some of Lawson's recommended Pasta Restaurant dishes include "Fried Lasagna Bolognaise" and "Seafood Tomato with Cream Sauce", but our reporter's favorite is the "Clam-Packed Spaghetti Alle Vongole," the RocketNews 24 reported.

  "The linguine absorbs the flavor of the clams, giving it just the right chewy texture. Combined with the rich sauce and ocean smell, this is one amazing pasta dish!" he raves.
