Step 1
Boil salted water in a large skillet or pot. Add pasta and cook until al dente, ~10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
In the same skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3
Add spinach and fresh herbs. Stir until spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Add evaporated milk and stir to combine.
Step 4
Return cooked pasta to the skillet. Crumble queso fresco over the top and toss gently, adding pasta water 1/4 cup at a time until sauce coats noodles.
Step 5
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately while hot and creamy.
