A link to "tasks/new/1" actually would not be restful. New links never specify their id, as you cannot know the id to be given out by the database. By convention the id behind a ressource belongs to that ressource, not a relation.

The Restful way would be

/projects/1/tasks/new

You can achieve this via setting correct routing.

Have a look here: http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html

And search for the heading nested resources.

I assumed that you have nested resources projects and tasks.

<%= link_to 'New Task', new_project_task(project) %>

This link should create path /projects/1/tasks/new

The short form is

<%= link_to 'New Task', [:new, @project, :task] %>

The routes file should have 

resources :projects do
  resources :tasks
end
