Cook the penne in plenty of salted water until al dente. Finely dice the onions, garlic, carrots, and fennel, and dice the mushrooms slightly more coarsely. Heat a little oil in a pan and fry the onions and garlic until translucent. If you like, add a finely chopped chili pepper. First, fry the mushrooms thoroughly, then add the carrots and fennel. Cook everything over high heat for about 10 minutes, depending on how firm you want the vegetables to be. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in the passata and reduce the heat. Add the herbs, water, and vegetable stock. If desired, you can purée part of the Bolognese, but then add a little more tomatoes or water. Let everything simmer briefly and season to taste. Pour the sauce over the pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
