1. Bring a large pot of water boil over high heat. Cook the pasta to al dente, according to the box's directions. Drain and set aside.
2. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. While the oven is preheating, in a large skillet, saute the onion and garlic until the onions have softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and pour in the pasta sauce along with 2 tbsp of basil, dried oregano, and salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Lightly spray a 4 qt baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. In a medium sized bowl, combine the cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, and 1 cup of mozzarella. Remove the sauce from heat and stir into the pasta. Transfer half the pasta into the greased baking dish and divide half of the cheese mixture and spread over the top of the pasta. Then add the remaining pasta and spreading the remaining cheese mixture over the top. Using the last 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, top it over the pasta and bake for uncovered for 20 minutes. Turn the broiler on for 3-5 minutes, just long enough to brown the mozzarella cheese a bit - watch it closely so it doesn't burn.
4. Remove from oven and top with remaining chopped basil.
