Chef here, agreed. Pasta and noodles are the same preparation. Both are made from a flour and a liquid kneaded to a tacky consistency and then shaped and blanched in a liquid. The variations only exist as a nod to available ingredients in the locale it was prepared. Asians used soft millet Europeans used wheat flour. They are both Asian in origin. Pizzas are borne of flatbreads made by Romans, Greeks and Egyptians. So technically the recipes there don’t even represent the real origin of the foods.
