I’d suggest making a more savory sauce
Also, always salt your cooking water

You could season the water you cook the pasta in or use a seasoned broth.

so does adding oil mixed with msg after straining the pasta is not a good idea?
If you mix oil into your pasta, it won't hold on to the sauce as well. One TV chef described it as making your pasta non-stick.

Put some msg in your sauce
Add either some red wine to your sauce or a bit of Asian fish sauce. Either or both will really enhance.

Nothing, just cook the pasta in salted water. The savory content and element will be in your other ingredients and each noodle has a distinctive taste based on the different sizes and shapes which gives pasta their distinctive taste and altering that with have an effect on the finished dish, it really doesn't make much sense imo.
