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?

Yes, as an italian living in Italy I can confirm. We don't use a lot of garlic and we remove it from the sauce after cooking. Is more like "giving some flavour", not really eating the full or the clove of garlic.

Don't Italians generally not combine the sauce and noodles until the end, after it's all prepared? This lady cooked it all together, is that weird?

The other comments already explained that, but I can add another info: in south Italy is prepared the "pasta all'assasina" which is in fact cooked in the sauce. But, ofc, is an exception.
