You can make good stuffing from stuff already cooked!
Throw into a metal bowl, the equivalent of 1 or 2 (depending on cavity size and other ingredients below) pieces of bread or toast or pita or lavash, or a chunk of corn bread, or some rice, polenta, white beans, or even mashed potatoes! Or some combination of them. It needs to be a little wet when all mushed together as below, but not quite runny.
I would not make stuffing from leftover pasta unless you really know what you are doing, since it is very drying, and will harden too much without sufficient moisture inside the cavity.
Add to this, and mush up together, say, bacon or bacon fat, diced sausage, leftover mushrooms, salad, cooked green vegetables, diced bell peppers and or onions, add garlic, provencal seasonings, or sage, to taste.
After the fowl is roasted, dig this stuffing out, and have it on the side with the pan juice, or gravy if you make that.
