You can just say mozzarella and tomato.

And you could call a enchilada a wrap, but you don’t.

Sometimes very classic dishes have names that stick outside their region.

That’s why we call it spaghetti bolognese and not meat noodles.

Did you not know this? Lol. That’s sort of how it works for many very popular classic/traditional dishes.

Enchilada and Bolgonese are in no way similar to saying "pomodoro" instead of tomato, for no reason at all.

Spaghetti aren't noodles, for a start.

Try reading this: https://www.foodandwine.com/news/italian-sandwiches-eat-before-you-die

These sandwiches are popular enough that these are the common names often used outside of italy as well, and in this case, it was simply used to point out that this is a common, local, famous Italian sandwich.

It really isn't that complicated or confusing lol.

BTW "Pasta is the Italian name for them. The word "noodles" derives from the German name--Knudeln--for the exact same thing."
