Whisk the cottage cheese, eggs and 1 cup of the Parmesan cheese together in a medium bowl; set aside. Bring 4 quarts of water to boil in a large pot over high heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon salt and pasta; cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta begins to soften but is not yet cooked through, about 7 minutes (the pasta will finish cooking in the oven). Drain pasta and leave in colander. Do not wash the large pot.
While pasta is cooking, heat oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, about 2 min. stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, sugar, basil and oregano; simmer until thickened, about 10 min. Take off heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir cornstarch in to heavy cream and transfer mixture to the now empty large pot the pasta cooked in. Set the pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove pot from heat and add cottage cheese mixture, 1 cup of the simmered tomato sauce, and half of the mozzarella cubes, then sir to combine. Add pasta and stir to coat thoroughly with sauce.
Transfer mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread remaining tomato sauce evenly over pasta. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cubes and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese over the top. Cover the baking dish with foil that has been lightly sprayed wit cooking spray and bake for 30 min.
Remove foil and continue to cook until the cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown, about 30 minutes longer. Cool for 10 minutes. Serve.
