In the prepared baking dish, add the fresh or frozen tortellini in a single layer.
Add the tomato pieces, bell pepper pieces, and pepperoni on top of the tortellini. (You can use whatever your favorite pizza toppings and flavors are here.)
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Then pour the marinara sauce over the top. Add the hot water to the marinara jar to "rinse it out." Then pour the remaining sauce from the jar and spread into an even layer. The water will also help cook the tortellini as it bakes. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Carefully remove and let cool slightly before serving.
