Ravioli Relative is a term used to describe two types of pasta dishes, pierogi and wonton. Pierogi is a type of dumpling made from unleavened dough and filled with savory or sweet filling, such as potatoes, cheese, or fruit. Wonton is a type of Chinese dumpling made from a thin wrapper filled with a variety of ingredients, such as pork, shrimp, and vegetables. Both pierogi and wonton are similar to ravioli in that they are both filled pasta dishes.
