From a rich and saucy spaghetti Bolognese and a creamy ham tagliatelle, to portions of ravioli stuffed to the brim with all your favourite ingredients, there is pasta for every occasion and craving.
To celebrate this delicious dish, every year, the world comes together to celebrate World Pasta Day.
In line with this, on October 25, Pasta Evangelists will be transforming a handful of London Tube stations into pasta havens and giving out free pasta to commuters.
Here is a comprehensive look at when and where you can get your hands on some free pasta.
How are Tube stations being transformed for World Pasta Day?
Pasta Evangelists are giving a number of underground stations a carb-filled rebrand.

When did World Pasta Day become a special occasion?
