Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add ground beef; cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, about 6 minutes. Stir in Italian seasoning, pepper, onion powder, and 3 teaspoons of the salt until well combined. Remove from heat.
Add beef mixture, spaghetti sauce, pasta, and water to a 6-quart slow cooker. Stir until well combined and pasta is fully covered in liquid. Cover and cook on Low until most of the pasta is al dente, about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir together cream cheese, ricotta, sour cream, Parmesan, parsley, garlic powder, and remaining ¾ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until mixture is smooth.
Dollop and spread cheese mixture evenly over pasta mixture. Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella cheese.
Cover and continue to cook on Low until pasta is tender and cheese is melted, about 25 minutes more.
Garnish with parsley and crushed red pepper, if desired.
