In the slow cooker, spread a thin layer of the marinara mixture on the bottom.
Add a layer of cooked ziti pasta on top of the sauce.
Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pasta.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
