同学，你好~

我们从英文解释看看两者的区别：

（名词）Pasta is a type of food made from a mixture of flour, eggs, and water that is formed into different shapes and then boiled. Spaghetti, macaroni, and noodles are types of pasta. 面食 例如：
Pig out once a week: Cut out potatoes, pasta, rice and bread for six days every week.
每周大吃一顿享口福：每周六天减少马铃薯、面食、米饭和面包的摄入量。

（不可数名词）Spaghetti is a type of pasta. It looks like long pieces of string and is usually served with a sauce. 意大利式细面条 例如：
Nicholas ate a dish of spaghetti.
尼古拉斯吃了一盘意大利面条。

综上分析，pasta的意思是面食，而从这句话：Spaghetti, macaroni, and noodles are types of pasta可以看出，spaghetti是pasta的一个种类~因此pasta的范围比spaghetti更大。



也就是说，spaghetti是细长条的意大利面，而macaroni则是通心分粉，中间是空的~

希望能够帮到你，
祝同学学习愉快！
