DIRECTIONS
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the ground beef, Italian sausage and onion. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the meat is browned all over and the onion is soft, approximately 5-8 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the meat to a slow cooker. Add the garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, bay leaves and milk. Stir to combine.
Place the spaghetti squash in the center of the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the squash is fork tender.
Carefully remove the squash from the slow cooker and transfer to a cutting board. Wipe away any grease and then carefully cut the squash in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds, then using a fork, scrape the squash into strands. If the sauce is soupy, cook sauce on high for 30 minutes or until thickened. If the sauce is thick, add 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup water.
To serve, divide the spaghetti squash among bowls and ladle the Bolognese sauce over the top. Garnish with parmesan cheese and chopped parsley
