Spicy Spaghetti Squash with Couscous

For me, pumpkins are one of the symbol of fall - along with the smell of cinnamon, colourful leaves and warm sweaters. I love summer when I'm lying on the beach by the sea, but when I'm in the city, I enjoy fall much more. I love cold mornings, when I put on my cozy bathrobe, make a hot oatmeal for breakfast and the long nights when I jump into bed with a warm blanket, a cup of tea and a book. 
But now let's come back to the pumpkins - butternut, spaghetti or hokkaido squash ... they're just a part of the fall atmosphere :)
