yes. Sour cream is made by adding live yogurt cultures to heavy cream and leaving it at room temp for a few days. You can either add some plain yogurt to your cream and leave it out for a few days, or you can add a touch of lemon juice to your recipe with the heavy cream. Personally, I substitute plain yogurt for the lower fat content, and it tastes the same.

Are whipped topping and heavy cream the same thing?
Although it's normally made from heavy cream, whipped topping includes sugar (and possibly vanilla) when heavy cream doesn't. At least all whipped cream recipes I've looked at call for sugar. Plus air is incorporated and I don't know what effect using as a sub for heavy cream would have. Anyway, I would say no, not really.
Can you use an all purpose cream as an alternative for heavy cream?
Heavy cream is the term used in the USA for cream with a high fat content of over 36%. There are similar creams around the world and the actual fat content varies from country to country but the important figure to know is 30%. This is the minimum amount of fat needed for the cream to whip successfully and to be able to withstand heating and acidic ingredients. If the fresh cream contains at least that amount or more it should work in recipes using heavy cream, to be absolutely certain though you should try and find one that is over 35%. The actual fat content of whipping cream varies from country to country but would normally be 30% or more, it is not exactly the same as heavy cream but can often be successfully used in recipes as a replacement. I don't recommend using very thick creams like clotted cream or plastic cream which are over 50% fat as these are best used just for spreading. Nestlé All purpose cream from the Philippines actually contains less fat than heavy cream that but due to its manufacturing process and additional ingredients it can still be used in place of heavy cream in most recipes and I believe will be suitable for your pasta sauce. Evaporated milk can often be used in recipes in place of light cream or half and half but is not generally a suitable replacement for heavy cream.

In recipes that are a cream-based soup, heavy cream is advised. Regular whole milk will not do the job. It is a different consistency and will not blend well with the asparagus.
Can you use half and half instead of light cream?
No, because the scientific composition of the cellular structure of half and half has less oxygen-phosphate molecules than heavy cream. Although, if you alter the cellular activity by using a magnetic beam to separate the atoms and fuse the neutrons and protons, you can get heavy half and half, which is biologically approximate to heavy cream. If you are using the heavy cream to whip, half and half won't work. If you are using the cream just for flavor and texture, half and half can be used and will work fine.
