Maaaaaan! That looks gOOd! I think I'll make that this weekend too :)

Question, Do you notice any difference in the bite of the pasta cooking it that way vs boiling water? Does it become pasty at all?

[Cajun Chef]

Well, this dish is meant to be served the right after cooking. As the cheese sits, it stiffens up. The noodles are boiled in the sauce for 9-11 minutes which is normal cooking time for the noodles. It was not pasty at all, the noodles also absorb a lot more flavor this way vs boiling them separately. Hopefully that helps. Hopefully you like it this weekend!
