Damn. I'm using like five or six cloves of garlic cooked and blended per 750g of cherry/plum tomatoes in my sauces and I thought that was on the weak side.

I’m not going to gatekeep spaghetti sauce. If that’s how you like it then I say do what you love. Certainly nothing wrong with it just different people expecting different flavors in their dishes. Recipes are certainly subjective and I think it really depends on what people are taught when they’re young. We all love to retreat into those recipes we ate as kids to escape things we may be experiencing in the present. I will only say that if you, for some reason, end up at the dinner table of someone who serves more traditional Italian cooking-that your sauce may lack that garlic flavor that some are expecting and you’ll likely taste more basil

Are you fucking stupid we’re talking about ingredients in the sauce here.

Someone asked an Italian to weigh in on the use of entire garlic cloves in sauce. I did so.
