The word pasta comes from Italian pasta which means basically "paste", but also "dough", "pasta", or "pastry" (as in small cake). Today the word "pasta" is reserved for Italian-style noodles in English-speaking countries, while the word "noodle" has a more general meaning, including many similar Asian products. The word noodle actually is derived from the German Nudel, meaning... pasta.
Pasta can also denote dishes in which pasta products are the primary ingredient, served with sauce or seasonings.

Pasta is an Italian word that originates from the word for the dough. Pasta can be either noddles or macaroni .The difference is that type of flour used and noodles have egg in them.

Pasta is a generic term for Italian variants of noodles, food made from a dough of flour, water and/or eggs, that is boiled. They are the same!
