No, not at all. Rice is a grain, in fact the seed of the rice plant. It is grown in watery fields called rice paddies. It is naturally brown, but the husk (which contains the B vitamins) is often removed, or "polished," giving us the white rice you are probably most familiar with.
Pasta is a generic term including a variety of shapes made from flour, egg and water. It includes rotini, spaghetti, various kinds of noodles, shells, etc.
Both of them belong to the nutritional category known as carbohydrates, which may have confused the first answerer.

No. Rice is a 'whole' grain. Pasta is a processed product that can be made from an assortment of ground grains.

Pasta is made from semolina flour. It comes from a processing plant or can be made at home.
Rice is a grain that comes from the rice plant.
Both are carbohydrates.

no. Rice is a legume and pasta is made from flours and eggs, however both are carbohydrates. Both eaten in moderation is ok, however try to stick to wholegrain pastas and brown rice as they are healthier.
