Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook the ziti pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.

While the pasta cooks, prepare the tomato sauce. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute.

Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella, provolone, Parmesan, and Asiago cheeses. Mix well.

Add the cooked pasta to the cheese mixture and toss to coat.

Pour the pasta mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Top with the remaining mozzarella, Parmesan, and Asiago cheeses.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and lightly golden brown.

Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil (if using).
