• Remove "tenders" from chicken if necessary (see above note). Pound breast halves ‚ inch thick between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. On a work surface arrange 1 breast half, smooth side down, with a long side facing you and put 1 scallion (or 2 if very thin) lengthwise on chicken. Roll chicken around scallion and tie with kitchen string at 1-inch intervals. Trim scallion flush with chicken. Make 7 more rolls in same manner.
• Mince garlic and in a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold rolls in one layer stir together garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Add rolls, turning them to coat. Marinate negimaki, covered and chilled, at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
• Make sauce:
• Coarsely chop bell pepper and in a blender purée with white vinegar. Transfer mixture to a small saucepan and stir in sugar, red pepper flakes, and salt to taste. Simmer sauce 5 minutes and cool. Sauce may be made 1 week ahead and chilled in an airtight container.
• Spread sesame seeds on a sheet of wax paper. Remove negimaki from marinade, letting excess drip off, and roll in sesame seeds to coat. In a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook negimaki in 2 batches, turning them occasionally, until cooked through, about 10 minutes, adding remaining tablespoon vegetable oil to skillet as necessary. Transfer negimaki as cooked to a cutting board and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices, discarding string.
• Push skewers through sesame seed-coated edge of slices. Serve negimaki warm or at room temperature with dipping sauce.

• Form heaping tablespoons of the crab mixture into cakes of a quarter-inch thickness, coat each with the crumbs, and place on the waxed paper-lined plate or baking sheet.
• In a large skillet over medium high heat, heat the vegetable oil until a droplet of water thrown in starts to sizzle or until bubbles start to gather around the tip of a wooden spoon placed in the oil, whatever method you choose.
• Fry cakes, a few at a time, until golden on both sides, approximately three minutes total for each batch.
• As cakes cook, remove them to the paper-towel lined baking sheet.
• When all cakes are cooked, move to serving platter, arranging around a bowl of the sauce, if you like.

• Combine drained and rinsed beans in a food processor and pulse for 10-15 seconds, or until coarse and combined. Be careful not to over process-you don't want mushy beans!
• Transfer the processed beans to a large bowl and add all of the remaining ingredients, except for the Ragu Spicy Red Pepper Sauce. Using a rubber spatula, gently blend all of the ingredients together.
• Once the meatball mixture is well combined, use a spoon and your hands to form golf ball sized "meatballs." (Makes about 15 meatballs.) Place formed meatballs on a foil or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake the meatballs in a 375 degree oven for 20-30 minutes, or until brown on top.
• While the meatballs are in the oven, warm the Ragu Spicy Red Pepper Sauce in a medium saucepan. Serve with the bean meatballs. Meatballs and sauce can be served with pasta or on their own.

POTATO GNOCCHI WITH SPICY RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• To prepare the gnocchi: Up to 6 hours before mealtime, preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Poke several holes in each potato and bake for 45 minutes, or until fairly soft when squeezed. While the potatoes are still hot, cut them in half and squeeze the insides into a bowl, discarding the skins. (You'll want to use a hot pad to do this.) Mash the potato well with a potato masher or a sturdy fork, add the salt and egg yolk to the bowl, and stir well. Add the flour a little at a time and mix with your hands until the mixture just begins to hold together. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead gently for 1 minute, or until smooth. You may need to add a little bit more flour to keep the dough from sticking.
• Break off a handful of the dough and roll it into a 1/2-inch-thick rope. Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces. Repeat this process with the remaining dough.
• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil and add one-fourth of the gnocchi. Cook for 2 minutes after they float to the surface, then remove with a slotted spoon. Repeat the process with the remaining gnocchi. Place the gnocchi in a single layer in a baking pan or on a large plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use.
• To prepare the sauce: Up to 6 hours before mealtime, roast the red peppers by placing each whole pepper directly on the gas stove burner (if you have an electric stove, do this under the broiler) and cook, turning occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are almost completely black. Place them in a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let stand for 10 minutes. (The steam will make the skins peel right off.) Scrape the blackened skin off the peppers and discard the stems and seeds. Place the pepper in the blender and purée until smooth.
• Peel the onion and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Trim the ends from the celery and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Peel the carrot, cut in half lengthwise, and slice 1/4 inch thick.
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrot, and cook, stirring frequently, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are fairly soft. Add the puréed red peppers, tomato paste, crushed red pepper, and water and stir well. Season with salt and pepper and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Thirty minutes before mealtime, remove the gnocchi and sauce from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature.
• Fifteen minutes before mealtime, place the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the gnocchi and cook, stirring occasionally, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned on two sides.
• Meanwhile, place the sauce over low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until hot.
• Spoon half of the gnocchi onto each plate and top with the sauce. Sprinkle with the feta cheese and serve immediately.
• Red and green bell peppers are actually the same plant. Green peppers are picked when the peppers are green (go figure) and red peppers are left on the vine longer until they ripen and turn red. The longer time on the vine results in red peppers being sweeter than the green. Choose smooth, firm peppers with no shriveled or soft spots and avoid the heavy ones. They are loaded with seeds.
• Feta, which is a salted Greek cheese, can be mild or sharp, soft or hard. In the supermarket you'll find it either as a chunk immersed in brine (it spoils quickly after being taken out of the brine) or already crumbled in a package. Buy the latter for this recipe-any leftover is excellent sprinkled over salad.
