Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

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

Add the diced red and green peppers, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender.

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 bowl, combine the cooked meat sauce, heavy cream, ziti pasta, ricotta cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Mix well.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.

Bake for 30-45 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
