Can this be? Fettucini Alfredo? Fettucini al Pesto? Pasta
Primavera? I'm gaining a million pounds just thinking of all the
Italian veggie food that exists. Or are these
Italian-found-only-in-America foods?

You are forgetting that of the three you have mentioned at least
two are going to contain dairy products (cream and parmesan) so that if
you are not a lacto-ovo vegetarian (or if, like me, you can't have milk
products) you are outta luck.

Also note that pasta in Northern Italy often (maybe always) contains egg.
