This Cheesy Crock Pot Ziti is delicious and so easy.

Spray nonstick spray on crock pot and turn to high. In a separate bowl mix your greek yogurt cream cheese, ricotta cheese and about two tablespoons of Italian seasoning. The cream cheese will be a bit lumpy, its fine. Spread around 2 cups of the Ragu Pasta Sauce on the bottom of the crock pot. Then place 1/3 of the ziti uncooked on top of the pasta sauce. Next drizzle about half a jar of the tomato sauce on top of the ziti. Dollop 1/3 of the cheese mixture over the ziti and lightly spread. Then cover that layer with shredded Parmesan.
