Slow cooking pasta? On stove top NOT in slow cooker!

[BratleFoodie]

I once had a marvelous meal when wide noodles and a bunch of other stuff were cooked by slowly adding small amounts of water/broth at a time, for much longer than the normal boiling water pasta time. Constant stirring, like risotto.

What might this kind of method be called? I want to google and get recipes, because that was so good I sometimes remember it out of the blue...

I have a recipe from the New York Times "Pasta with Chicken, Risotto Style." Here's a link to the page:

Or "risotto style pasta." I make pasta this way all the time (usually with penne or fusilli). This recipe got me started:

Try googling "absorption pasta" or "absorption method."
