During Passover, observant Jews do not eat chametz - that is, any food produced in a way in which one of the Five Grains (wheat, oats, rye, barley or spelt) come into contact with water for more than 18 minutes. Since pasta falls into this category (along with most types of noodles, couscous, bread except for Passover matzah), it is not eaten during the festival.
There is kosher for Pesach pasta available these days, primarily made from potato starch.

Do jews eat pasta during passover?
Due to the prohibition against unleavened bread, raw flour cannot be used during Passover. In order to be used for Passover, dough has to be thoroughly cooked within 18 minutes of the flour being mixed with water. When pasta is made, water is mixed with flour and the formed pasta is left to dry without being cooked and therefore is not allowed. There are kosher for Passover pastas that are made with potato starch/flour.

What do they eat at passover?
It's what we DON'T eat that is significant at Passover; we don't eat any "chametz", or leavened bread products. That includes bread, rolls, pasta, or anything made with wheat flour or grains. The only allowed wheat products are the unleavened bread or "matzoh", or products made from matzoh. For example, matzoh ball soup! Traditional matzoh is made from wheat flour and water, and baked within 15 minutes of adding the water. (Any longer might permit fermentation to begin, which is not allowed during Passover.) Anything made by yeast or by fermentation of wheat, rye, oats, barley or spelt (a type of Russian winter wheat, also called "groats") is banned. Most Ashkenazic rabbis also ban rice and corn, while many Sephardic authorities permit these as not being proper "grains" mentioned in the Torah. So beer brewed from barley is chametz, while wine fermented from grapes is allowed during Passover. Whiskey is not allowed, while vodka (made from potatoes) is.
