To make 16 vegetarian stuffed mushrooms, wipe off or wash mushrooms in cold water. Pop out stems, reserving both parts. Chop mushroom stems finely and set aside.

Heat olive oil and Cabot Salted Butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until translucent. Add chopped mushroom stems, basil, salt, pepper and sage. Cook 5 more minutes or until stems are softened.

Add red wine to the skillet and scrape to deglaze pan. Remove from heat and stir in lentils, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar and breadcrumbs.

Stuff caps evenly with mixture and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. Serve warm.
