In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or Italian sausage until fully cooked. Drain the excess fat.
In the slow cooker, combine the cooked meat, marinara sauce, crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the uncooked ziti pasta, ensuring the pasta is well-coated with the sauce.
Drop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese across the top of the pasta mixture.
Cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours or until the pasta is tender.
During the last 20 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the top.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
