Preheat the oven to the desired temperature.

In a large skillet, brown the ground meat and Italian sausage over medium heat.

Add the diced red and green peppers, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until vegetables are softened.

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, pasta sauce, Italian seasoning, sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.

In a large pot, cook the ziti pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, meat sauce mixture, ricotta cheese, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-45 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil.
