In a medium pot, add 1 tsp salt and fill with water to boil the pasta in. Cook according to instructions. Drain and set aside in the pot.
While waiting for the pasta to cook, combine the marinara sauce, cream, milk, tomatoes, and sugar in a small cooking pot. Bring to a simmer and add Parmesan, Monterey, Asiago, Fontina, and 2 tbsp of the Mozzarella. Stir until bubbly and remove from heat.
Pour the sauce over the pasta in the pot. Mix and put into an oven-safe dish. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 Tbsp of Mozzarella cheese. Broil until the cheese is a light golden brown.
