Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Crock Pot Baked Ziti:

1. Cook Pasta: Begin by cooking ziti pasta in boiling water for about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2. Mix Cheeses: In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 2 cups of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.

3. Layer Ingredients: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of the crock pot.

4. First Layer: Add half of the cooked ziti over the sauce. Top it with half of the cheese mixture.

5. Second Layer: Pour half of the remaining marinara sauce over the cheese mixture.

6. Repeat Layers: Add the rest of the ziti, followed by the remaining cheese mixture, and then the last of the marinara sauce.

7. Top with Cheese: Finally, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top for that gooey finish.

8. Cook: Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 4 hours (or high for 2 hours) until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

9. Let Rest: Once cooked, allow it to sit for 10 minutes before serving to help the layers set.

10. Serve: Dish out portions and enjoy your Crock Pot Baked Ziti with a side salad or garlic bread.
