I believe these claims as much as I believe that the someone named Ignacio in the 50s was the first person ever to put meat and cheese on topped of chopped up fried tostadas.
The pasta thing, fine. I’ve heard of the origin as China as well. So Italians started making pasta 900 years ago. That’s way more believable than that any really obvious food was created 60 years ago.

It took Italy 300 years to make a tomato sauce to pair with pasta.
There is no historical evidence of pizza in Italy until after it was created in the US.
