1

Gather all the ingredients.
2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook, stirring now and then, until tender yet slightly firm, about 11 minutes; drain.
3

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion in the butter until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the flour and garlic powder into the onion.
4

Gradually stir in the milk. Heat until just below a boil, then gradually stir in the cheese until the sauce is smooth. Stir in the peas and mushrooms; cook over low heat until warmed through, about 4 minutes.
5

Toss in the smoked salmon and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve over the pasta.
