Default How's This Substitute for Heavy Cream

I'm making a "Penne w/Tomato-Cream Sauce" recipe from Bon Appetit but
I want to skip the heavy cream (I know that the cream is a main part
of the recipe!).

How does this sound as an alternative?

- first put in some corn starch for thickener and bring to a light
boil to cook the starch & thicken

- bring back down to a simmer (so I don't ruin the milk) then put in
1/2 cup of whole milk (recipe calls for 1/2 cup of h-cream)

Any feedback/opinions would be welcomed.
