Cook the linguine pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, then drain.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add chopped onion and canned tuna to the skillet, breaking it up gently with a fork.

Stir in classic pesto and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Add all-purpose cream and mix well, allowing it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Incorporate cooked pasta into the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.

Season with salt and a sprinkle of sugar to taste.

Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
