heavy cream will be in the dairy section(also called whipping cream).bring butter and the cream to a boil and add your parmesean cheese. turn the heat to low and toss in your cooked pasta.i like to add chopped broccoli during the last minute with the pasta to get some vitamins in the dish.experimentg and have FUN!

The Low-Down on Heavy Cream
What is heavy cream? If you have to make it, how, or where can you buy it?
Heavy cream, which is also called heavy whipping cream in many parts of the country, has a fat content of between 36% and 40% (occasionally 42%).
Light cream has between 18% and 30% butterfat (but generally averages 20%), and light whipping cream has between 30% and 36% fat.
{ IF YOU FIND A CARTON IN THE STORE LABELED WHIPPING CREAM, IT IS BOUND TO BE LIGHT WHIPPING CREAM.}
Many, many supermarkets carry heavy cream, but perhaps you should ask the manager at yours if it is available. We doubt that substituting light whipping cream for heavy cream will seriously compromise whatever you’re cooking, if you must make the substitution.

Heavy cream is in the dairy isle next to the half and half. In a pinch (and only in a pinch, like when my darling husband uses the last of the cream in his dang coffee and I'm already half way into making alfredo when I discover his tretchery) I'll use a tiny bit of corn starch to thicken the sauce made with regular milk.
Its in the dairy isle next to the milk...sometimes its labeled as heavy whipping cream, they are the same thing so don't worry if that's the only thing you can find.
It's also called whipping cream
I don't have a picture but it's in the milk section, usually on the top shelf... next to the half and half. Good luck!
milk section next to the half and half and coffee creamers... it comes in a small cardboard carton normally.
whipping cream is the same
