Preheat oven to 375°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high. Add ziti; cook according to package directions for al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain; rinse with cold water. Return pasta to pot; set aside.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high; add sausage, and cook, stirring occasionally to break into small pieces, until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add tomato paste, and cook, stirring often, until slightly darkened in color, about 2 minutes.

Add vodka to sausage mixture; cook, scraping bottom of pan to loosen browned bits, until liquid is mostly reduced, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in marinara sauce and cream; bring to a simmer over medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan. Stir 2 cups vodka sauce into drained pasta in pot until well combined.

Spread 3 cups vodka sauce in the bottom of a 9- x 13-inch baking dish. Top with half of the ricotta (about 3/4 cup), dolloping evenly over the sauce. Top with half of the pasta mixture. Dollop pasta mixture with remaining half of ricotta; sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups mozzarella. Top with remaining pasta mixture and remaining vodka sauce, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan.

Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted and browned in spots, about 30 minutes. Top with parsley.
