Hi my friends, would the first-made up example I have below be incorrect compared to the second-made up example?
In other words, even if example 1 may be parallel, is it preferred to omit the second "to eat" in the first example for simplicity?
Example 1: I wanted to eat pasta and to eat cookies.
Example 2: I wanted to eat pasta and cookies.

Yes, the second one is much preferred over the first one. In such a simple sentence, repeating 'to eat' rather than keeping it part of the root phrase, is borderline redundant (though technically it is not grammatically incorrect).
