If a recipe calls for 2 cloves of garlic, I put a whole head in. Easily one of my favorite flavors.
One of our favorite "what should we eat for dinner, we don't mind cooking but want comfort food and not a lot of effort?" recipes is buttered noodles.
Cook pasta to al dente. In a small saucepan, melt 1 stick butter, coarse sea salt to taste, fresh cracked black pepper to taste, 1 TBSP each dried oregano and basil, 5-6 cloves finely minced garlic. Combine all ingredients, bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes (more time/temp burns the garlic, which is bad). Pour butter sauce over cooked noodles. Stir, and serve with freshly shredded parmesan cheese (none of that cellulose crap in a cylinder).
