i had some boxed alfredo and shells in the pantry but refused to buy milk so I just replaced both the milk and butter in the recipe with olive oil and it turned out great is this the secret to the Italian civilization? can I just...replace whatever I want with olive oil...?

very little Italian cooking uses milk, so, yes

absolutely fantastic basically since i started college i've had no desire to ever buy milk but on rare occasions i need a tiny bit of it for a recipe as-written

Powdered milk is something you can keep for a long time and break out on the odd occasion a recipe calls for milk.
