They can be the same type of wheat flower actually. The only difference is pasta has an extremely low level of hydration, which produces the stiff dough which when dried will form hard pasta. It's a similar concept to bagels vs sandwich bread. Bagels have a lower hydration level which is why they are so dense. It's all the same flower being used though.

There is a variety of wheat used for bread flour, two very common species are hard red winter wheat, and red spring wheat. These are grown in the MidWest. Kansas is the number one producer of hard red winter wheat in the US.
