A few suggestions:

pasta salad - if you add a dressing with oil in it, the pasta won't stick together (mayonnaise or oil and lemon juice are examples) and you could add shredded chicken or tuna and some peas or sweetcorn kernels

layer with a tomato and meat or veg sauce (even a jar of bolognaise or lasagne sauce) and top with a white or cheese sauce and sprinkle on some grated cheese and bake. I call this pasticcio but others call it pasta bake

keep it in the fridge covered in cling film and pour boiling water over it to eat tomorrow

stir in some pesto and eat it cold for a quick lunch

I have frozen pasta that was cooked too so you could portion it into bags and freeze some.

My Dd has made the recipe below but using minced pork.Meatloaf. Basically we just use whatever meat we happen to have!

minced pork is not realy like sausagemeat-much drier so wouldnt recommend sausage rolls as the pork wouldnt hold together the same..
You could make pork meatballs and do a sweet and sour sauce and rice with them.
Just add some herbs and garlic to the meat and beat an egg into the mixture to help it form well. Roll into balls and brown in a frying pan lightly then cook in the sauce for another 15 mins on the stove top.
