1 measure the amount of tapioca that you'd like to cook. in a separate pot, measure six times the amount of water (ex: 1 cup tapioca = 6 cups water). please make sure you have enough water or else the boba is likely to stick and burn.
2 bring the pot of water to a boil.
3 once boiling, put the tapioca in and stir lightly so nothing sticks to the bottom. similar to cooking pasta .
4 boil on high with the lid closed for 23-28 minutes (cooking time vary depending on your stove power). if the pot overflows then you will need a bigger pot.
5 once time is up, remove the pot from the stove with the lid still closed. let the pot sit for 20-25 minutes.
6 drain the excess liquid and wash the tapioca in slightly warm water. drain again.
7 put it in a serving pot and you're done!

1 put sultanas in a bowl & cover them with the brandy, then allow them to sit & soak up some of the liquid, about 30 minutes.
2 in a heavy sauce pan, combine rice, sugar, milk, the drops of vanilla & the cinnamon stick.
3 when the milk starts to boil, turn heat to low & simmer slowly, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
4 when sultanas have soaked up some of the brandy, drain them & add the sultanas to the rice & milk mixture.
5 continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, & once rice has cooked, remove pan from the heat & remove the cinnamon stick.
6 spoon into a serving bowl & let cool a bit before sprinkling a little ground cinnamon over the top & serving.

1 1. gravy: after the meatballs are made of your choice, its time to start the gravy. in a large pot add the can of tomatoes and tomato paste along with the can of cold water. allow to come to a slow boil over medium or medium low heat, stir often to break up the paste and stir the mixture. once it comes to a slow boil, reduce the heat to low and add the meatballs. add the oregano and basil and continue to stir every time it starts to bubble or boil. continue to stir like this every few minutes for an couple of hours until the gravy reduces or thickens.
2 2.when the gravy is done, remove the meatballs and put in a separate serving dish. boil the spaghetti or other pasta (penne is also good) and be sure to use a full pot of boiling water, adding salt to the water to make it boil is optional, as is adding a few drops of olive oil. water takes at least 20 minutes to come to a rolling boil, but the pasta will cook in 10 minutes or less (some cases 15, depending on the brand of pasta, fresh pasta cooks in less than 5 minutes generally). drain the pasta well, add just a tiny bit of sauce to the drained pasta to keep it from sticking, and leave out a bowl of extra sauce for those who like more or a lot of sauce.
