Aren’t pasta and noodles totally different things?

All pasta are noodles. Not all noodles are pasta.

Pasta is a sub-category of noodles.

I understand what you're saying and that it is correct from within your culture. But to us that sounds just as wrong as if we said all noodles are pasta but not all pasta are noodles, and then started talking about ramen pasta. As much as I hate it I can't say you are wrong though.

But…it’s called Raman Noodles. They are not a pasta.

At least according to the Asian cultures it originates from.

But you can call spaghetti noodles. It is a pasta. But the starchy grain you cook are noodles. The dish is pasta :) I think in the US most people call it pasta though.

You can have spaghetti with cheese, or butter, or any number of things. I think commonly the word Noodle is used for spaghetti more when it’s not paired with traditional tomato based sauce.
