built to grate golfball sized chunks of hard parmesan cheese into powder for pasta?

Yes, very powerful. Crushes ice with ease, have made soups with heavy ingredients. Something really dense would be helped by making smaller chunks. I am very happy with this blender.

I cook spaghetti for 2 all the time with it. Never tried boxed mac & cheese, but it would cook the pasta very well. I'm sure the other ingredients could be stirred in.

Not for spaghetti. Holes are between the size of a nickel and a quarter. Would work for large manicotti shells!

I bought this pasta roller for making Pappardelle pasta. Yes, I suppose I could roll out a flat sheet of pasta and then cut it wider into Pappardelle shape, but I wanted to do it this way. I really love making pasta, and this is just one more "toy" for me.

I agree with the previous answer, it would work but it isn't as sturdy as the pasta insert but it would be fine.

Sorry, I don't know. I use a hand grater for small amounts and a Breville sous chef for large amounts. I would imagine that for sticky cheeses it wouldn't work so well, but why not try it with some cubes of parmesan or other firm cheese?

By hard I assume you mean Parmesan, as opposed to the hardness of a block of cheddar cheese. I just tried it and while I usually grate this type of cheese, the slicer cut off slices, one after another, but not a conventional slice as Parmesan not the right consistency for that. It did a nice job and then "slices" can be crumbled. If you're looking for a neat looking piece of cheese, then no.

Don't see why not :) as long as it's as pliable as Pasta Dough it should work great!! Use confectioners sugar to dust with :)

You should be able to find a pasta maker for this model. If you can't find it on Amazon, try the Kitchenaid website. They've got a ton of attachments for this mixer.

No, it wouldn't work, it will "rice" potatoes or eggs, but they come out so short/small/fine, noodles wouldn't stay together, better off with pasta maker

yes, but you would have to be making a huge batch. I have used it for making everything from cheese, to apple sauce, to bone broth.

No, the holes would be too big for that purpose, I use it for pasta and veggies only.

I use the smaller hole drum for Parmesan cheese since Parmesan is a hard cheese.

It could be used for that purpose but I would guess a smaller one. You would certainly need to cover it with aluminum foil those as the cover with this is plastic and flat. Makes a great pan for lasagna though- nice and thick.

It's easy. First take whole garlic and slice the top off. Then take a good quality extra virgin olive oil and drizzle on top. Place the cast iron garlic bulb over indirect heat and roast about 15-20 minutes or until soft. I then sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese over the top.

No, but it sounds like a good idea. U can vary the thickness by adding more powder with less water. Mix well before adding to the potatoes or Mac and cheese. Be patient. It can take a few minutes to dissolve.

There is another attachment called the "extruder" for pasta types like Penne, hollow spaghetti, etc. with that you are complete for almost all types of pasta. Have fun.
