Messi had opened the scoring for Barcelona after just five minutes and his growing understanding with Fàbregas helped set up the second in the 13th minute.
The Argentina ace lofted a pass over the Osasuna defensive line to a streaking Fàbregas who expertly volleyed it into the right corner of the net.
Barcelona made sure not to relax as it had let the same 2-0 lead slip to Real Sociedad last week, and soon put the result beyond doubt.
David Villa, twice, Xavi and an own-goal from Rovérsio joined them on the scoresheet as Barça climbed to second in the La Liga table.
