Preheat oven to 350.
Bake pecans on a baking pan in a single layer 5 - 7 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through.
While pecans are baking, cook pasta al dente in well salted boiling water according to package directions, about 11 minutes. Drain.
Wash grapes and broccoli. Cut off broccoli stems, peel the outer tough layers off of the stems, chop stems into small pieces. Cut broccoli into florets then cut florets into bite sized pieces. Cut grapes into halves.
Whisk together mayonnaise, sugar, onion, vinegar and salt in a large bowl; add broccoli, hot cooked, drained pasta, and grapes; stir to coat. Cover; chill 3 hours.
Stir bacon and pecans into salad just before serving.
