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.

Is all purpose cream is same as heavy cream?
No, because HEAVY CREAM has more fat content than all purpose cream... you can only use all purpose cream for pasta sauces or any kind of sauces but not for whipping... because again it has lesser fat content.. you can whip cream if the fat content is 30% or above. :)

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 all purpose cream as an alternative to whipping cream when making yogurt?
Recipes I have used, and that came with my yogurt maker say you can use: Whole milk 2% milk 1% milk Fat free milk Soy Milk or Almond milk to make yogurt. I have never seen a recipe using cream for yogurt making. So I think all purpose cream would make a heavy yogurt and so would whipping cream. When I made yogurt using 2% milk it is much lighter than yogurt make with whole milk and takes longer to cure. The yogurt maker suggested 10 hours for whole milk yogurt and 12 hours for 2% yogurt. Good luck.
Is whipping cream the same thing as cool whip?
No; heavy cream has a higher fat content. Granted, it is a pretty subtle difference (at least 36 percent fat in heavy cream and at least 30 percent in whipping cream), but it's important if you're making something that's going to keep its shape—the higher fat content in heavy cream makes it more suitable for those jobs. That extra fat also makes it more resistant to curdling in sauces.And if you're wondering where heavy whipping cream fits into all this, don't worry, it's just the same as heavy cream.

Can you substitute all purpose cream for lard when frosting?
Yes. Edit: For some things, No for others. If you are using it in baking for a cake, cookies, bread, in a sauce for pasta, a cream soup base it should be fine but less rich. But if you need to whip the cream icing filling, make it part of a custard (ice cream, creme brulee) or make ganache most all purpose cream is not rich or thick enough. A whipping cream needs to be above 30% or so to whip properly. It will seem twice as thick as most all purpose coffee creams depending on the area your all purpose cream is probably between 10-20% fat. So you may not be able to replace it with regular cream and get the same results.
