While pasta is cooking, heat up your skillet and start making your bacon. Set bacon aside once cooked.
Cut broccoli florets from stems, and separate florets into small pieces.
Mix together mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, sugar and salt in a large bowl; add broccoli, red onions, hot cooked pasta, and grapes, and stir to coat.
