Although there are many types of pasta dishes, everyone has their own favourite.
Popular site World of Statistics has revealed the most popular pasta dishes in the world, which includes one from Croatia.
The top spots are predictably dominated by the homeland of pasta – Italy.
In no.1 spot is Linguine pasta with seafood. In second place are Pappardelle with wild boar, followed by Carbonara in third, and Tagliatelle with Bolognese sauce in fourth.
The Greek pasta dish Giouvetsi broke the sequence of Italian dishes, coming in at no.7 on the list. The only other country to feature in the top 20 besides Italy and Greece was Croatia.
Croatia was no.20 on the list with šurlice with shrimp, a special delicacy from the island of Krk.
