• Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet. Add the onion and fennel and cook over medium-low heat until the vegetables just begin to brown.
• While the vegetables are cooking, drain the mushrooms, reserving the liquid. Dry the mushrooms on a paper towel, slice them and add them to the pan. When they are heated through, strain and add the mushroom liquid. Cook over high heat for several minutes, until the liquid just moistens the vegetables. Stir in the cream and remove the pan from the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• When the water has come to a boil add a generous pinch of salt and the farfalle. Cook the farfalle until it is al dente, about six minutes. Drain it thoroughly, then add it to the pan with the mushrooms and fennel.
• Cook the farfalle with the vegetables, stirring gently, two to three minutes, until the ingredients are well blended and the cream has thickened and clings to the pasta. Stir in the fennel tops and cheese and serve.

MUSHROOM PASTA STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
• Meanwhile, heat a large (12-inch), deep skillet over medium-high. When hot, add 2 tablespoons oil and the mushrooms. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, giving it a stir every 2 minutes or so. The mushrooms will release lots of liquid, but it will evaporate as it cooks. When the mushrooms start to turn golden, add the garlic, five spice and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and black pepper, then cook for 1 minute. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate and set aside.
• While the mushrooms are cooking, make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk the oyster sauce, maple syrup, soy sauce, sesame oil and chile oil with 1/4 cup water until combined. Set aside.
• Heat the same skillet back over medium-high. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the broccolini. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the broccolini is tender but still quite crisp.
• Add the pasta to the pan, along with the sauce and the butter. Using tongs, toss to combine, then add the reserved pasta cooking water, 1/4 cup at a time, just to loosen the sauce. When the butter has melted, add the mushrooms and toss again. Remove from the heat. Serve topped with scallions.
