Recently I saw this trend on Twitch where American streamers who are usually in their 20's or early 30's would say noodles instead of pasta, which struck me as somewhat strange.
It made me begin to wonder if they just use it for noodle shaped pasta, or if they've completely replaced all pasta with the name.
A surprising amount of "Italian" pasta on the shelves in the US is, in fact, made in the US. Barilla sold in the US, for instance, is made in either Ames, IA or Avon, NY.

America is the breadbasket of the western hemisphere. We should be able to make all our own pasta!

Not really.
The US is the biggest good exporter in absolute terms, but it's not very impressive once you account for its size.
For example, The Netherlands exports only 30% less despite having a 95% smaller population and a 99.6% smaller land area.
No it is not.
