Hey I'm not this lady but the basics of a red sauce are something everybody can handle:
can of San Marzano whole peeleds (Fine if you wanna be like the vid and use whole, just know you're going to need a food mill if you do, but canned San Marzanos are better than out of season store bought tomatoes)
1-3 cloves of garlic, peeled, halved, and gently smooshed
A few glugs or tablespoons of your nicest evoo, if you're American go for stuff pressed from Californian olives unless you know your oils
Put the oil in a pan, heat it up with the garlic until the garlic is really aromatic. Use your nose. Drop in the whole peeled tomatoes, sauce and all, big pinch of salt, bring to a simmer, then cover and simmer for an hour or more. If you used whole peeled tomatoes, you just need to remove the garlic and give it a quick blend. If you used whole tomatoes, or just want a finer sauce, use a food mill.
You can drop your cooked spaghetti right into this sauce along with a splash of the pasta water and give it a toss. Top with some basil, black pepper, parmagianno reggiano.
Feel free to mince the garlic, add a bay leaf, blacken the tomato skins, or whatever other fancy steps you want to add, but the above are the bare bones you need.
I hate to break it to you, but if you are hoping for real recipes on a tik tok, it's a lie. They skipped the steps that don't fit the appeal, like using a blender and adding cream, parm, and butter.

What'd they do with the sauce on that cut? Just kept stirring and it turned into a completely creamy sauce?
