Rockzilla's got it: stir frying rules! That's what I did for most of my college time. You don't even need a very good pan for it- just go down to your local toko and find a basic plate-steel pan, rub it down with oil on both sides and heat it allover until black. Just keep it away from stuff that sticks, like egg and such.
Then you'd need one more pan to cook the rice, a spatula and a knife that you hide in your room after your done with it, and you're all set!
You can use the wok also to fry the veg for pasta. A friend of mine made pasta with, ehm, carrots, courgette, some more veg we found lying around and some tomatoes. Finish off with some basil and grated cheese.
Or you might try the pasta salad. Boil the macaroni or whatever as usual, then rinse thouroughly with cold water and set aside to drain in a sieve.
Cut up some ingredients, like tomatoes, cheese, paprika, ad some corn, capers, salmon, ham, bacon, whatever floats your boat. You can use a bit of mayonaise or garlic sauce and a bit of freshly chopped basil.
Basically you can just toss anything together. Usually there's one thing that will dominate the flavor, the rest is variation in texture or compliments the taste. Best to eat with a piece of bread and some garlic butter (i'm a garlic junky)
Good luck man!
