Re: how much garlic

how much garlic do you normally like? I don't like too much garlic and DH gets heartburn so I'd add about 2 cloves but if you're a garlic fan, I'd say about 4?

Re: how much garlic

about 4 cloves but like jess said, depends on how much you like. DH will mostly put 2 cloves but last week i told him to try putting a little bit more and he finally put 4. He doesnt like TOO much garlic and i think theres never too much garlic hahaha

did you make 2 big cans of the tomatoes? i dont know but i dont taste it strongly, maybe bc i like it hahaha. Or maybe he doesnt like it if he feels a chunk of it. I noticed Dh wont complain about how much garlic i use for stuff if it finely chop the garlic into tiny tiny pieces hahaha

Re: how much garlic

It really depends on much you like or hate garlic, how you are using the garlic-garlic press or chopped, using minced garlic? I have a garlic press that is amazing and I wouldn't use more than 2 cloves and I am a garlic lover.

Re: how much garlic

It's up to you. We are Italian and have garlic in our blood lol When I make the meat (meatballs, sausage, pork, beef or braciole) I throw in anywhere from 5-8 BIG cloves and saute them in with the onions right before the meat is done. Once they get soft, I throw in the jar of homemade sauce and then one big can of Tuttarroso crushed tomatoes.
