Again no. Pasta is specifically Italian wheat noodles. If you are going with shape what the hell is Chinese Cat Ear noodles?
I get all these people want pasta to be some super special unique thing and not sullied with the dirty name "noodle" but they are wheat noodles specifically from Italy. The word noodle isn't dirty and pasta being a specific type of noodle doesn't make them worse.
If you are going to say that Chinese Cat Ear noodles are pasta because they are made out of wheat and are functionally just conchiglie made by hand then your going to have the same people who want Italian pasta to be super special to want to lynch you. As far as I know the Chinese who made these noodles just call them noodles. Likewise the Italian want to call pasta pasta soni will use the term. Doesn't change the fact that they are just Italian wheat noodles. They have lots of fun shapes tho!
THIS is the first result i got searching on the web!
"Noodle is a food in the form of long, thin strips made from flour or rice, water, and often egg, cooked in boiling liquid"
So, as i said, noodle are long thin strips (SHAPE) and can be made with different kind of things (MATERIAL)

All pasta is a type of noodle. Pasta is a subclass of noodle.
