Pasta Salad

We threw a baby shower for one of our friends here and the theme was "little man" so I was trying to find a bow tie pasta salad, found this one and loved it!

INGREDIENTS

1 C chopped pecans (I didn't do this, but only because I'm not crazy about nuts)
1/2 (16 oz.) package farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
1 pound fresh broccoli
1 C mayo
1/3 C sugar
1/3 C diced red onion
1/3 C red wine vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar)
1 tsp salt
2 C seedless red grapes, halved
8 cooked bacon slices, crumbled (I forgot this part, but am sure it would've be better)

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan 5-7 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant, stir halfway through.
Cook Pasta.
Cut broccoli florets from stems and separate them into smaller pieces. Peel away tough outer layer of stems and finely chop stems.
Whisk together mayo and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl; add broccoli, hot cooked pasta, and grapes, and stir to coat. Cover and chill 3 hours. Stir in bacon and pecans right before serving.

Thanks for the original recipe you can find HERE.
