Add the tomato puree, sugar, salt, spices and water. It will be really soupy. It's okay when you add the pasta you need it to be that way. It will thicken as the pasta cooks.
Cook over medium heat at a slow boil for at least 30 minutes, preferably 45.
Break the lasagna noodles into pieces and add to the pot. Stir often to keep them from sticking to the pan. Cook for about 20 minutes or until noodles are tender.
While the noodles are cooking mix together the cheese mixture. Add a large tablespoon of the cheese mixture to each bowl of soup. You can also stir it into the soup, your choice.
