This is very very light on the garlic for 4 servings, the video uses 5 cloves for 100g, which for a non child is a portion. For a pound of spaghetti you're gonna need 20 or so. Edit: noticed the ingredient list is from the NYT article which makes sense, but still absolutely would go heavier on the garlic here.
