Broccoli and Grape Pasta Salad

I found this recipe HERE.  I really liked this recipe.  It wasn't too heavy with the addition of the grapes and the broccoli.  This is defiantly a great side if you need to go to a potluck or friends house for dinner.  This might just have to become one of my favorites!

1 cup chopped pecans
