confusion about two words

[alysa]

What 's the difference between spaghetti and pasta?They are both noodles,aren't they?

[Dixie]

Spaghetti are very similar to noodles, although their shape is different. Here's a delicious dish of spaghetti :D

Pasta is the general term to refer to this kind of food. Spaguetti, noddles, macaroni and others are all referred to as pasta.
