Create a new static block from admin.
Insert widget in a static block.
Select Catalog New Products List in widget type.

OR you can simply paste below code in your static block content

<p>{{widget type="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\Widget\NewWidget" display_type="all_products" products_count="10" template="product/widget/new/content/new_grid.phtml"}}</p>

Go to your New category > Display mode and set Static block only.
Go to your New category > Content and Add CMS Block which we have created in step 1.

Found a working solution using Alan Storm's advice.

/template/custom/featured-product.phtml

<?php
$_categoryId = $this->getCategoryId();

$_productCollection = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_categoryId)
    ->getProductCollection()
    ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
    ->addAttributeToFilter('status', 1)
    ->addAttributeToFilter('visibility', 4)
    ->setOrder('price', 'ASC');
?>

<div class="featured-product">
    <h2><?php echo $this->__( $this->getLabel() ); ?></h2>

    <?php foreach ($_productCollection as $_product): ?>
        <div class="item">
            <a class="product-image" href="<?php echo $_product->getProductUrl() ?>">
                <img src="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'small_image')->resize(200); ?>" alt="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($this->getImageLabel($_product, 'small_image')) ?>" />
            </a>

            <a class="product-name" href="<?php echo $_product->getProductUrl() ?>"><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?></a>

            <?php echo $this->getPriceHtml($_product, true) ?>
        </div>

        <?php
        // Note: Exit after first product.
        break;
        ?>
    <?php endforeach ?>
</div>

In short, the collection is manually generated rather than receiving a collection (as my initial attempt did):

<?php $_productCollection = $this->getLoadedProductCollection() ?>
<?php $_collectionSize = $_productCollection->getSize(); ?>

Using in a CMS Page:

{{block type="core/template" category_id="13" label="Product of the Month" template="custom/featured-product.phtml" }}

Using in a template:

/layout/local.xml

<default>
    <reference name="footer">
        <block type="core/template" name="custom.featuredProduct" as="featured_product" template="custom/featured-product.phtml">
            <action method="setData"><key>category_id</key><value>13</value></action>
            <action method="setData"><key>label</key><value>Product of the Month</value></action>
        </block>
    </reference>
</default>

/template/page/html/footer.phtml

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('featured_product') ?>

I think it should help you http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/groups/248/display_products_on_home_page

So, result added string should be something like that

{{block type="catalog/product_new" category_id="ID OF SHOWING CATEGORY" name="home.catalog.product.new" template="catalog/product/new.phtml"}}
