Can someone tell me how I should prepare a batch of pasta given the ingredients I have available?

We're skipping the grocery store and just working on using up what's in the pantry. I'm looking to make a big batch of pasta but every time I've tried in the past it's been bland; I'm a terrible cook in general.
