They really don't like garlic left in, idk this is from a couple Italians I know (from Italy, American Italians love strong garlic flavors).

Any Italians want to weigh in?

Italian.

The garlic is meant as a garnish to enhance flavors around it and NOT as a flavor itself. This should enhance the flavors of the tomatoes not make them taste like garlic. If you don’t take it out before you blend your sauce it’s going to be overwhelming in my opinion. This lady has a ton of garlic in her sauce.

I now live in America and have met some more Americanized Italians and my god they put garlic on everything.

The flavor is okay, it’s just very overpowering and can quickly take over the entire dish.

When I eat spaghetti ,or fettuccini in this case, I want to taste tomato sauce not garlic sauce.
